Charming colonial town to the south of Bolivia, the “town of four names” (Charcas, La Plata, Sucre and Ciudad Blanca - its unofficial name) bears the memory of three centuries of Spanish domination with elegance and beauty. First capital of Bolivia and constitutional capital, Sucre is a sufficiently large town to attract tourists with its historic buildings, students with its two universities and its convivial haunts, and sufficiently small to not be too impersonal. A town of art and culture, this “white town” was classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991. Its numerous religious buildings such as the San Lazaro, San Francisco and Santo Domingo are a perfect illustration of the harmony that is possible between local architectural traditions and style imported from Europe. From the culture of the Andes to colonial culture, Sucre is a peaceful and fascinating town for learning Spanish.
