La Paz

Palacio Legislativo

    Address: East side of Plaza Murillo

    The seat of the Bolivian parliament,Palacio Legislativo was built in the Neoclassical style in the early twentieth century on the site previously occupied by the Jesuit headquarters until their expulsion from the Spanish Empire in 1767. Even this hasn't been immune to the worst effects of Bolivia's tumultuous political climate, with a miner infamously blowing himself up inside the building as recently as 2004, in protest at the lack of retirement provision.
