La Paz is Bolivia’s seat of government and executive capital. Sucre is the country’s constitutional capital, but Bolivia’s executive offices operate from La Paz.
The government moved in practice after the 1898–1899 Federal War, when La Paz’s economic and political influence surpassed Sucre’s. The presidential palace, legislature, and many national ministries are located around La Paz’s central Murillo Square.
This is a common geography question because Bolivia has a divided-capital arrangement. Sucre remains the constitutional and judicial capital, while La Paz functions as the administrative center and home of the executive government. La Paz is also the capital of the department of La Paz and sits high in the Andes, at roughly 3,650 meters above sea level.
