Included on many sightseeing tours of the city, La Paz Cathedral was only completed in 1989, but its neoclassical architecture evokes the period in 1835 when the first stones were laid. Officially known as the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, La Paz (Catedral Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora de la Paz), the cathedral contains fascinating stained glass that outshines its relatively simple altar; look for images of Bolivian politicians receiving blessings from heaven.
