DescriptionBolivia-09 - La Paz (2217305635).jpg |
English: La Paz city sits in the Chuquiago Marka Valley and has over 1,000,000 inhabitants. The center of the city is 3,650 meters above sea level, El Alto, where the international airport is located, is at 4,082 meters. The average temperature in winter is 15C (59F) and 22C (72F) in summer. in summer, rain falls on most afternoons, in winter, days are slightly cooler, but the sky is mostly clear and sunny.
Pedro de la Gasca, to whom the Spanish king had entrusted rule over the former Inca lands, commanded Captain Alonso de Mendoza to found a new city commemorating the end of the civil wars in Peru. Then the city of La Paz was founded on October 20th, 1548. Spain controlled La Paz with a firm grip and the Spanish king had the last word in all matters political. In 1781, for a total of six months, a group of Aymara people laid siege to the no longer peaceful city of La Paz. Under the leadership of Tupac Katari, they destroyed churches and government property. Thirty years later Indians laid a two-month siege on La Paz. In 1809 the struggle for independence from the Spanish rule brought uprisings against the royalist forces and the people won independence. |
