Iglesia La Recoleta, Neo-Gothic Catholic church in El Rosario district, La Paz, Bolivia.
The Iglesia La Recoleta features three naves, seven altars, and stained glass windows that illuminate the interior through pointed arches.
Spanish Jesuit Brother Eulalio Morales designed the church in 1889 after General José Ramón Loayza donated land to Franciscan friars.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and functions as a central gathering point for religious celebrations in the La Paz community.
Located at the intersection of Avenida América and Pando, the church remains open for visitors and conducts religious services throughout the week.
The bell towers display floral-shaped rosette openings at their base and rise into slender spires, completed in 1930, decades after the main structure.
