Bookmark & shareProud, genteel Sucre is Bolivia's most beautiful city.
Gorgeous whitewashed Sucre, whose elegant patioed houses and noble churches make it the nation's most handsome city, is still the judicial capital of the country. It was here that Bolivian independence was declared in 1825, and it's still known as the 'Cradle of Liberty.'
