Plaza 25 de Mayo
The heart of the White City, surrounded by the cathedral, Casa de la Libertad and the government palace, with people passing through under the palm trees.
The square is named after May 25, 1809, when the Chuquisaca uprising took place. That uprising is regarded as the first cry of South American independence. At the center stands a statue of Mariscal Sucre. The surrounding white colonial buildings include the cathedral, Casa de la Libertad, the provincial government palace and the city hall. From the benches you can watch shoeshine boys, ice cream vendors and locals lounging about. The surrounding streets are full of cafes and restaurants, making the square an ideal starting point for a stroll through the city.
