This week’s mystery city is La Paz, which was the top choice of readers with 44% of votes cast. La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia. The second choice was Maracaibo in the northwestern Venezuelan state of Zulia with 21% while Boa Vista, Roraima, in Brazil was in third place with voters with 15%.

See http://www.vanderkrogt.net/statues/object.php?webpage=LE&record=bo001. The second postcard under “This monument on postcards” is essentially the same view 70 years ago (a little bit lower to the ground); the Hotel Sucre is still recognizable in today’s shot.
