Sucre, the constitutional capital of Bolivia, is a city of historical significance nestled in the southern central part of the country at an elevation of approximately 2,800 meters. Founded in the 16th century as La Plata, the city played a crucial role in colonial Spanish America.
The well-preserved historic center of Sucre, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991, features distinctive white-washed buildings and colonial architecture that earned it the nickname "La Ciudad Blanca" (The White City). The city houses important cultural institutions including the House of Liberty where Bolivia's declaration of independence was signed in 1825.
Sucre's cultural landscape is enriched by its mix of Spanish colonial and indigenous influences, visible in its architecture, traditions, and artistic expressions. The city is also an important educational center, home to one of the oldest universities in the Americas, the Universidad Mayor Real y Pontificia de San Francisco Xavier de Chuquisaca, founded in 1624.
