Sucre

Located at 2,810 meters above sea level, Sucre extends across a fertile valley with white colonial buildings and a network of cobblestone streets.

Spanish conquistador Pedro de Anzúrez established the settlement in 1538 as La Plata, which later became a center for silver trade during colonial times.

The Casa de la Libertad museum preserves the original declaration of independence and exhibits artifacts from Bolivia's journey toward sovereignty in the 19th century.

The San Francisco Xavier University, founded in 1624, continues to attract students from across South America to its historic campus in the city center.

The Supreme Court of Bolivia operates from Sucre, making it the judicial capital while La Paz serves as the administrative center of the country.
