The city of Sucre was founded On September 29, 1538 by Pedro de Anzures, the Marquess of Campo Redondo by the name of "La Plata", on an old city of the Charcas Indians.
July 12, 1839 is declared the constitutional capital of the Republic of Bolivia. It's considered " Monument of America ", city of four names: Charcas, La Plata, Chuquisaca and Sucre. place of the Supreme Court of Justice and ancient place of "Audiencia de Charcas", it is surrounded with a charming valley surrounded by mountains and is at the foot of the hills Sica Sica and Churuquella.
Its real historical transcendency reflects a style of building of European style. The environment of the city, in which atmosphere you can see the beauty of its buildings, shows the local tidiness and the large richness of the colonial art.of its historical buildings that have turned into museums: the Supreme Court of Justice, the Palace of Government, the Cathedral and the Bell of the Freedom in the temple of San Francisco. The fountains that adorn its beautiful parks, the monuments raised to the illustrious ones of the mother land, and the replies of monuments of French architecture, give to the tourist an extraordinary scene admired by all. In the middle of this dazzle that Sucre provokes, we can admire its museums, the set of pictorial works, sculptures and jewels.
Sucre is a very beautiful city, on having crossed its narrow streets it is possible to admire the colonial buildings, the residences of big courts, beautiful fountains, state buildings that are still preserved the baroque and Moorish of long ago, uniform arches, laces of the high domes, carved doors, bolts, padlocks and "callers", hanging balconies and alleys where probably there was more than one duel of cap and sword. In the air there is breathed the culture that springs from the classrooms of the Major, Royal University of San Francisco Xavier, where celebrated American men studied.
The park Bolivar, probably the most beautiful of the country, receives the students, whose juvenile dialogues get confused with the reading of university texts in a monotonous environment that begins at early hours of the morning and ends with the penumbra of the dusk.
