Palacio de Gobierno - La Paz, Bolivia - Capitol Buildings on Waymarking.com

The Palacio de Gobierno (Government's Palace) is also known as Palacio Quemado (Burnt Palace) due to the fire which happened in it during the uprise of 1875.

In 2011 a new palace was announced and its construction began immediately. This new palace was used by president Morales between 2018 and 2019 but the interim president Jeanine Añez refused to use the new building and reversed the process. There are talks about the usage to be given to the new Casa Grande del Pueblo, which will perhaps be converted into a hospital.
