The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace is the seat of the Archdiocese of La Paz. The previous cathedral had to be closed in 1831 and demolished due to cracks in the building. Construction of the current cathedral began on March 24, 1835 under President Andrés de Santa Cruz, who was also buried in a chapel in the cathedral. It was designed in a classical style according to plans by Manual Sanahuja. The five-aisled church features a striking stained glass window behind the main altar.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of La Paz is located in Plaza Murillo, next to the Government Palace.
It was built in 1835 in neoclassical style; the façade is divided into two bodies; the interior with five portals, the central one flanked by three Corinthian columns. There is also a Museum of Sacred Art.
On the left side there is a chapel where the remains of Marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz y Calahumana are kept.
