The iglesia San Miguel is a church in the Zona Sur area of La Paz, designed with modern architecture featuring angular forms and geometric patterns. The structure combines contemporary design elements with functional spaces for worship and religious gatherings.
The church was built during the expansion of the Zona Sur district to serve the growing population settling in the southern areas of La Paz. It has since become an established religious center for the developing neighborhood.
The church functions as a gathering place where residents come together for religious ceremonies and community celebrations throughout the year. Local families use the space for both personal devotion and collective worship, making it an important social anchor in the neighborhood.
The church is located on Calle 21 number 8066, making it easy to find in the neighborhood. Regular Sunday services happen in the morning and evening, with extra masses scheduled during religious holidays.
