The country's constitutional capital, Sucre (pop. 185,000)
is located in a scenic valley at an elevation of 8,900 ft/2700
m. It is home to the Supreme Court of Bolivia and three universities.
Sucre is one of the most relaxing and pleasant cities in Bolivia
- the architecture has a European flavor, and the region
has a delightful climate. It offers several interesting sights,
among them the Cathedral and Chapel of Guadalupe, the Casa
de la Libertad (colonial artifacts related to Bolivian independence),
university museums and Immaculada Convent (shop there for
handicrafts).
Also see the ruins of Calle-Calle in the Zudanez neighborhood.
