| This one square-block park represents the traditional center of La Paz. In the middle is a statue of former President Gualberto Villaroel, who was dragged into this plaza by an angry mob in 1946 and hanged. This square itself at the heart of the "City of Our Lady of Peace" was named for Don Pedro Domingo Murillo, a martyr in the city's independence movement, who suffered the same fate in 1810. City of peace...right. |
