Learn Spanish in Sucre

Sucre, the historical center of Bolivia, has actually had four separate names throughout history. First known as La Plata in 1538, then Charcas in the early 1660s, followed by Ciudad Blanco and finally Sucre, in 1825. The final name is in honor of Mariscal Antonio Jose de Sucre, a fighter for Bolivian independence. With a city so rich in history, it is a unique opportunity to learn Spanish in Sucre. The city itself is rich with restaurants, cultural activities, markets and museums to allow the visitor to gain a deep understanding of the culture, language and people.

When you come to learn Spanish in Sucre, you can also steep yourself in the religion that has been prominent in the history of the city - there are magnificent churches and cathedrals to explore. The main catherdral, simply called The Cathedral, is a work of architectural beauty. Several smaller churches, including Santo Domingo, San Miguel and San Francisco, are well worth touring. The Universidad Mayor de San Francisco Xavier, founded in 1624, is also open to the public for tours. For fine art displays a trip to the Museo de la Recoleta provides an opportunity to learn about local artists since the 16th century. For more modern artwork the Museo Del Arte Moderno and the Museo de Charcas provide wonderful examples of local and national artists and their work. The original document of independence was signed in the Casa de la Libertad, which is now open to the public and holds many military and historical documents.
