Stunning architecture and intriguing history... this is a must see in my opinion. This is truly a jewel within the city and a beautiful photo op. If you are lucky enough to attend an event here it is well worth the time!

This is a small but beautiful cathedral, impressed with the upkeep and decoration. Parking was easy and it was not hard to find.

The cathedral is a must when visiting La Paz. I didn't realize it was such a historical site until I read the inscripture on the outside. Located in a nice area to walk around in and explore.

Fantastic and beautiful architecture. Visit this fabulous cathedral, enjoy its superb architecture and once you´re done, accross the street is town square and its quaint kiosk. Enjoy it along an ice cream and playing mexican bingo "loteria"

This cathedral is the original, and in the center of the waterfront shopping area. It's open to the public, yet is still in use. Walk through and see the architecture, icons, and other decorations. The cathedral and the grounds are a true gathering place for the locals.

neat area to walk around. Not the most amazing Cathedral I've even seen but it was nice. It was pretty but not all that much to do in the area, only takes a few minutes to see the Cathedral
