Iglesia de San Sebastian, Catholic church in La Paz, Bolivia.
The Church of San Sebastian features stone walls, a prominent dome, and detailed architectural elements that characterize colonial religious buildings in Bolivia.
Founded in 1548 by Captain Alonzo de Mendoza, the church initially bore the name of Saint Peter before receiving its current dedication to San Sebastian.
The temple serves the Catholic communities of La Paz and El Alto, providing religious services and maintaining traditional practices for local congregations.
Located at the intersection of Bozo Street and Plaza Alonso de Mendoza, the church underwent complete restoration in 2016, including new comanche stone flooring.
The church holds a venerated image of Our Lady of the Pillar of Zaragoza, gifted by Emperor Charles V in 1552, now known as Our Lady of Asunta.
