Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, La Paz
Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, La Paz, Structure of worship at Murillo Square, La Paz, Bolivia.
The Cathedral Basilica features five naves, neoclassical architecture with baroque elements, and two lateral towers that define its external composition.
Construction started in 1835 after demolishing the original 1692 cathedral, with the current structure inaugurated in 1925 during Bolivia's centenary celebrations.
The chapel houses the remains of Marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz, a significant figure who served as protector of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation.
The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural features and historical significance.
The completion of the lateral towers in 1989 coincided with Pope John Paul II's visit, marking a transformative moment in the cathedral's development.
