In La Paz, the de facto capital of Bolivia, many religious monuments of architecture of XVI-XVII centuries Say that first arrived in the vicinity of the Franciscan friars, and long before the founding of La Paz Alonso de Mendoza. When he got to the valley of Chuquiago, we allocated a portion of land for the erection of the monastery. In our time, the Church and monastery of San Francisco are among the most famous attractions of Bolivia. The facade of the Church was reconstructed in the late 20th century. Tourists have the opportunity to visit not only the Church but also in the monastery, where, as nowhere else, preserved a remarkable spirit of antiquity. Buying an extra ticket, you will be allowed to visit the monastery and even to walk the roof, accessible via a narrow stone staircase.
