Iglesia de San Pedro, Franciscan church in San Pedro, La Paz, Bolivia

Iglesia de San Pedro is a church building in La Paz that displays late Baroque and Neoclassical elements in its design. The structure features carved lions and shells at the base of its columns, adding visual detail to the interior.

Founded in 1549 by the Spanish friar Francisco de la Cruz Alcocer as the second parish of La Paz, the church was decorated in 1665 and its first temple finished in 1720. It burned during Túpac Katari's siege of 1781 and was rebuilt by 1790, then destroyed again in the indigenous rebellion of 1857 and rebuilt under President Narciso Campero.

The church stands in the San Pedro neighbourhood, the area south of the Choqueyapu River that was historically the indigenous district, while Spanish-origin families lived to the north. The parish was founded in 1549 by the Spanish friar Francisco de la Cruz Alcocer to evangelise the indigenous population.

The building sits at an intersection in the city center and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should know that access may be limited during religious services.

The church was founded in 1549 by the Spanish friar Francisco de la Cruz Alcocer to evangelise the indigenous population, making it the second-oldest parish in La Paz. The Choqueyapu River once divided the city: the north bank was home to Spanish families, while the south bank, where the church stands, was mainly indigenous.
