Sucre is the capital of Bolivia and it is located in the south-central part of the country and thanks to this position the city has a very cool temperate climate.

Very much a Spanish city during the colonial era, the narrow streets of the city center are organised in a grid, reflecting the Andalusian culture that is embodied in the architecture of the city's great houses and numerous convents and churches. For this reason the city attracts thousands of tourists every year thanks to its well-conserved downtown with buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The capital of Bolicia is the city of four names, and each of the well known names represent a specific era of the city's history. “Charcas” was the indigenous name; “La Plata” was the name given to the emerging Hispanic city of privilege; “Chuquisaca” was the name during the independence era; “Sucre” is the name of the marshal of the Battle of Ayacucho, Don Antonio Jose de Sucre.

The most important places that tourists visit during all the year are:

• The house of Freedom (La casa de la Libertad) that is the most important building of the nation.
• National Library (La Biblioteca Nacional), that is an historical, bibliographical and documentation center of the country.
• The Metropolitan Cathedral (La Catedral Metroplitana) that has the “Museo Catedraliceo” which is the first and most important religious museum of the country.
• The Archbishop´s Palace (El Palacio Arzobispal) that was an important religious institution during colonial times.

Moreover, there are other famous churches like:

• San Felipe Nery
• Santa Clara
• San Francisco
• La Recoleta
• Iglesia de la Merced
• San Agustín
