Templo Santo Domingo, Colonial church in La Paz, Bolivia.
The temple displays Solomonic columns decorated with grape bunches and a facade carved in stone featuring parrots and papayas motifs.
Founded in 1590 by Vicar General Fray Cristóbal Rodríguez, the church served as La Paz cathedral from 1826 until the early twentieth century.
The temple combines European and Indigenous artistic elements through its Mestizo Baroque architectural style, particularly visible in the stone-carved facade from 1760.
The temple stands between Ingavi Street and Yanaconcha Street in central La Paz, with regular services and visiting hours throughout the week.
The temple houses the image of Jesus of Nazareth that reportedly shed blood tears in 1622, along with a bishop's right hand preserved in stone.
