The Salon de la Independencia. In this room the leaders of Upper Peru (as Bolivia was then known) met to draw out plans for Bolivia's independence. Although Bolivia declared independence from Spain in 1809, the Republic wasn't actually established until 1925, after 16 years of war.
I'm not sure what this building is and I'm to lazy to google it, so instead I'll give you another fun fact. Bolivia is named after Simon Bolivar, a Venezuelan who helped liberate Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Venezuela and Peru as well. The George Washington of South America to some
