Cathedral of Our Lady of La Paz
Catedral de Nuestra Señora de La Paz
A twin-towered stone cathedral in the historic center, built on the site of a Jesuit mission founded in 1720; free to visit
The cathedral stands on one side of Plaza Constitución in the old town. Built between 1861 and 1865, it occupies the site of the La Paz mission established by the Jesuits in 1720. The two square bell towers were added later. The interior is simple and houses an image of Our Lady of Peace. Around the square are the old city hall and cafés. Together with the Regional Museum of Anthropology and History and the seafront promenade, it makes a half-day walking route through the old town. Free admission; please keep quiet during Mass.
