Templo de San Agustin, Colonial church in central La Paz, Bolivia
The temple contains three naves separated by stone columns, with external buttresses and a main stone portal from the colonial period.
Construction of Templo de San Agustin began in 1598 under architect Santiago de Vaca and reached completion in 1668 during the viceregal period.
The temple displays a combination of architectural elements, including Gothic ribbed vaults above the altar and wood carvings with Arabic influences beneath the choir.

The ceiling structure features the only preserved example of 17th-century religious architecture from the viceregal period in La Paz.
