La Paz Plaza Murillo

The main plaza in La Paz is not named Plaza de Armas, as it is in other South American cities, but Plaza Murillo, named for Pedro Domingo Murrillo who led an unsuccessful revolt against the Spanish. The yellow building is El Congreso, the Congress. Adjacent is the Cathedral, built in 1835.
