La Paz
Iglesia de San Pedro
Address: Southeast side of Plaza Sucre
Pretty Iglesia de San Pedro was built in the late eighteenth century after the original structure was burnt to the ground by rebels in 1781 during the siege of La Paz. Its most notable feature is a magnificent gilded Baroque altarpiece, which dates from 1714 and is thought to have been brought here from the Jesuit church of Loreto which used to stand on the Plaza Murillo.
