Sucre is the constitutional capital city of Bolivia. Before the arrival of the Spanish Empire, the city was called Chuquisaca, and then La Plata thereafter. Until 1839, it belonged to the Viceroyalty of Peru, but after the country gained its independence, the capital was renamed Sucre after its liberator, Antonio José de Sucre (1795-1830). As of 2020, it has a population of 360,544 people and is the sixth-largest city in Bolivia.

Sucre is located in the south-central region of Bolivia at an altitude of 2,800 metres (9,200 ft). It is divided into eight districts, each administered by a Sub-Mayor or 'Subalcalde'. The city contains several sports facilities, including the second-biggest football stadium in the country.

The city still has much of its Spanish colonial architecture and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991. The House of Freedom, built in 1621, is the most important building of the nation because it was the location of the Bolivian Declaration of Independence. There are many churches and convents, most importantly the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, built between 1559 and 1712.

Sucre has a pleasant climate with mild temperatures year-round. It has a low crime rate, which makes the city popular amongst tourists. Sucre is one of the best-preserved Hispanic colonial and republican historic city centres in the Western Hemisphere.

Whilst Sucre is the constitutional capital, Bolivia also has an administrative capital, La Paz.
