It is located in downtown La Paz on Plaza Murillo, next to the La Paz Cathedral and across from the Bolivian legislature. On 9 August 2018, it was replaced by the Casa Grande del Pueblo as the residence of the president by President Evo Morales. The interim government of Jeanine Áñez briefly reverted to occupying the Script error: No such module "Lang". from 2019 until 2020 when the newly elected Luis Arce returned to using the Casa Grande.[1] It now serves as a museum.
