Sucre UNESCO world heritage sites

Cathedral on Plaza 25 de mayo
Built over a whopping 153 years (1559-1712), its architecture evolved from the Renaissance style to having mestizo-baroque influences towards the end. These are more prevalent on the building’s exterior, notably its large clock tower which houses a massive, functioning 18th century clock imported from London.
Freedom House on Plaza 25 de mayo
Meaning "House of Freedom" in English, this former Jesuit church was where Bolivia signed their declaration of independence in 1825, finally breaking free from Spanish rule after a long and drawn out war.
Basilica of San Francisco on Aniceto Arce
One of Sucre’s finer churches, its construction used a predominately neo-classic style with a hint of baroque influence.
Santo Domingo church at Calvo Street 113
The enlarged and remodeled church has two portals: the lesser portal in the Early Renaissance style is the older of the two, whereas the triple baroque portal with Mudejar touches forms the main entrance.
San Lazaro Parish at Calvo 449
This was actually the very first church that was built in the city and dates back to the year 1538.
