The city was first founded in 1536 by a Spanish gold-seeking expedition under Pedro de Mendoza . However, attacks by indigenous peoples forced the settlers in 1539 to move to Asunción (now the capital of Paraguay), and in 1541 the old site was burned. A second and permanent settlement was begun in 1580 by Juan de Garay , who set out from Asunción.
