"Tomb contents" Plaza Murillo Tip by Assenczo

Plaza Murillo, La Paz’s Plaza de Armas, contains the Presidential Palace. Its neighbour is the Cathedral. Tucked away between the two is the tomb of the third Bolivian president (one of the 195 of them) who like the previous had to do with the uprising against the Spanish despots. Pretty much like his colleagues in arms he ended up where they were sent from – France. While fellow troublemaker San Martin passed away somewhere in the south of France, our Bolivian hero Santa Cruz, died in Versailles – this true city of kings. Mind you, now they have very nice sarcophaguses, French style – it must be worth the effort.
