It has an interior consisting of five naves Spanish-language article: Catedral basílica de Nuestra Señora de La Paz (La Paz, Bolivia), accessed 1 September 2019{{Circular reference|date=February 2020}} with different layers.

The first cathedral of La Paz was completed in 1692 after 70 years of construction; the first building was made of stone, lime and brick. In 1831 it was decided to demolish it due to the collapse of its presbytery and several cracks that threatened its collapse. The construction of the current cathedral began on March 24, 1835; it was inaugurated in 1925, marking the first centenary of the founding of the Republic of Bolivia. Although it opened that year, its interior ornamentation still continued until 1932.

In 1989, its two lateral towers were opened, this event coinciding with the visit of Pope John Paul II.

On the left side there is a chapel where the remains of Marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz, the supreme protector of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, are kept.
