The White City

Founded in 1538 and enriched by the silver of nearby Potosí, Sucre preserves one of the finest colonial centers in the Americas and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its whitewashed facades, red-tiled roofs, wooden balconies, and hidden courtyards earned it the name La Ciudad Blanca. Its churches blend European Baroque with Andean craftsmanship. These photographs explore the light, texture, and quiet geometry of a city where colonial history is still part of daily life.
