Tabula
Laja lies on the Bolivian Altiplano in the department of La Paz, roughly between the city of El Alto and Lake Titicaca, at around 3,800 metres above sea level. The land around it is almost entirely flat and open. Fields, pastures and scattered farmsteads stretch toward distant mountain ridges, and the town forms a small, well-defined cluster in the middle.
Laja has a special place in Bolivian history. In 1548 the Spanish captain Alonso de Mendoza founded the city of Nuestra Señora de La Paz here, before the settlement was moved within days to the sheltered valley where La Paz stands today. The town keeps a colonial church on its main square.
A Laja map poster shows a compact grid around the square, set against the vast emptiness of the high plain. Roads run straight across the land toward El Alto and toward the lake. The open space around the town gives the design a sense of scale that few places can match.
The town is recognised as the place where La Paz was first founded in 1548, before the city moved to its present valley location.
A regular grid of streets surrounds the main plaza and its colonial church, forming a compact core that stands out against the open plain.
Flat, high ground extends in every direction from the town, crossed by long straight roads and field boundaries that give the poster clean lines.

Cur Laja
Laja is a small place with an outsized story: it was the first site of one of South America's best-known cities. A map of the town appeals to Bolivians, to history readers and to travellers who have crossed the Altiplano between La Paz and the lake.
