Bolivia's seat of government
La Paz is the seat of Bolivia's government, home to the Palacio Quemado presidential palace and the national legislature, while the constitutional capital, Sucre, keeps the judiciary. At about 3,650 m above sea level it is the world's highest administrative capital, and with neighbouring El Alto its metropolitan area holds 2.2 million people.

Spanish captain Alonso de Mendoza founded Nuestra Señora de La Paz on 20 October 1548 to mark the end of Gonzalo Pizarro's revolt, moving it days later to the valley of Chuquiago. In 1781 Túpac Katari besieged the city for six months, and in 1809 Pedro Domingo Murillo began a revolt that opened the Spanish American wars of independence.
