La Glorieta castle, National monument in Sucre, Bolivia
The castle displays five architectural styles across its three towers, including a prince tower, princess tower, and a miniature Big Ben replica.
The castle, completed in 1897, was commissioned by Francisco Argandoña and Clotilde Urioste, who received papal titles for their philanthropic activities in Bolivia.
Swiss architect Antonio Camponovo integrated Moorish, Chinese, Russian, Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic elements to create this architectural fusion in Chuquisaca.
Located 5 kilometers from central Sucre, the castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with different entrance fees for locals and foreigners.
The prince's tower, standing 45 meters high with 108 steps, contains an observation point where Francisco Argandoña conducted nighttime astronomical observations.
