Murillo Province, Administrative province in La Paz Department, Bolivia

Pedro Domingo Murillo Province spans 4,705 square kilometers across the Cordillera Real mountain range, containing five municipalities including La Paz and El Alto.

The province, established in 1838 as Cercado, received its current name in 1912 to honor Pedro Domingo Murillo, who led the 1809 revolution.

The province incorporates indigenous Andean traditions with urban developments across its municipalities, particularly visible in local festivities and markets.

Located at an average elevation of 4,296 meters, the province maintains its administrative center in Palca while hosting Bolivia's governmental operations in La Paz.

Valle de la Luna presents unusual geological formations within the province, while Illimani mountain dominates the landscape as its highest geographical point.
