San Francisco Church

San Francisco Church, also known as Basilica de San Francisco, stands as a prominent example of baroque-mestizo architecture in La Paz, Bolivia. Originally built in 1548, the church’s early structure collapsed under heavy snow, leading to its reconstruction in the mid-18th century. The intricate façade, a hallmark of the church, showcases the detailed craftsmanship of the era. Today, visitors can admire the architectural features and explore part of the convent, which now houses a museum, offering a deeper insight into the historical and cultural significance of the site.
