Metropolitan Cathedral of La Paz, La Paz (must see)

Constructed in 1835, the cathedral is an extraordinary edifice well worth visiting. The Cathedral of La Paz is located in the central square, which is Plaza Murillo, named after Pedro Domingo Murrillo, who led a revolution against the Spanish. At the corner of the yellow edifice, adjacent to the cathedral, is the Presidential Palace. The tradition of clustering main edifices around the central square comes from the colonial period. The cathedral was built in 1720, and has both historical and architectural significance for La Paz.
