Sucre (Bol.)

Sucre, constitutional capital of Bolivia, seat of the Supreme Court and capital of the Chuquisaca department in the central southern part of the country, is often referred to as the ‘City of Four Names’ for having been previously named Charcas, La Plata and Chuquisaca. The predominance of white-washed buildings have also prompted that Sucre be referred to as ‘The White City’ (La Ciudad Blanca). Nestling at the foot of twin hills, Sucre attracts many visitors every year to see its colonial architecture and visit the locality.
