Templo de San Francisco
A makeshift structure was originally built on the church’s site by Brother Francisco de Aroca. It was later turned into a chapel, which makes San Francisco one of Sucre’s oldest churches. A new single-nave church was erected in 1581.
The church’s most remarkable features are its five types of Renaissance, Mudejar and baroque coffered ceilings. The main altar and the aisles feature gilded carvings.
The church’s crypt holds the remains of the Spanish conquerors who founded the city.
The two four-sided bell towers were built at the same time as the church. One of them houses the Liberty Bell, cast in 1800. It received its name after May 25, 1809, when it called the people to participate in the social movement, which history recalls as the First Cry for Independence.
Plaza 25 de Mayo
In colonial Sucre the main square, surrounded by the most important governmental, religious and civil buildings, was located in the heart of the city. Colonial life revolved around the Plaza Mayor or Plaza de Armas as it was called back then.
Its original layout as a square and its size still remain the same. Its main features like the diagonal and circular paths, the monuments dedicated to the liberators, the pavilion, the main stone fountain as well as other smaller fountains stem from the French influenced era that started after the country’s independence.
Sucre’s citizens used to go to the square to court; the women walking clockwise and the men anticlockwise around the square so that the men got the opportunity to greet the women each time they passed each other. Stories like this one add to the plaza’s charm.
