Description

Discover the history of Sucre on a guided tour of its most important museums. Visit the Recoleta Museum, the Santa Clara Museum, and the San Felipe de Neri Museum and Convent. Start the tour in the oldest part of Sucre with a visit to the Recoleta Museum. Inside, you'll find the Franciscan Convent, a wonderful place that exudes peace and tranquility. Its three colonial patios, a majestic millennial tree witnessing the city’s colonial and republican history, the intricately carved wooden choir of the church, and a marvelous collection of colonial and republican paintings await exploration. Descend through the historic streets of the city, heading to the Santa Clara Museum, one of Sucre's most mystical places. The high choir showcases works by painters such as Bernardo Bitti, Gaspar Miguel de Berrio, and Melchor Pérez de Holguín, along with cedar wood sculptures. The museum's treasure is a restored 17th-century organ, played on special occasions. Explore the crypt where nuns were buried centuries ago, up until 50 years ago. Additionally, visit the church and stroll through the nuns' cloister. Conclude the tour with a visit to the San Felipe de Neri Museum and Convent, an ostentatious representation of the Catholic Church's influence in flourishing American society. From its terraces, among colonial-style tiled domes, towers, and silver-adorned bell towers, appreciate the stunning panorama of the city.
