Colonial Times
SUCRE and POTOSI
Sucre, the romantic capital of Bolivia, conserves the 17th century atmosphere and a unique legacy of colonial arts. The
San Francisco Xavier University is the 2nd one in South America and
the 1st to start a medicine school.
Potosi was the wealthier city in the world
during the colonial time. There is a popular saying that its Rich Mountain has
produced enough silver to build a solid bridge from Potosi to Madrid. The
wooden machinery of the Royal Mint is still perfectly conserved and the city is
today a living museum of the colonial period. UNESCO has declared it
“The historical and
Cultural Legacy of Mankind”
