'''Sucre''' ({{IPA-es|ˈsukɾe|lang}}) is the [[capital city]] of [[Bolivia]], the capital of the [[Chuquisaca Department]] and the [[List of cities in Bolivia|sixth most populous city]] in Bolivia. Located in the south-central part of the country, Sucre lies at an elevation of {{cvt|2,810445|m|ft}}. This relatively high altitude gives the city a [[subtropical highland climate]] with cool temperatures year-round.
 
Its [[Pre-Columbian Bolivia|pre-Columbian]] name was '''Chuquisaca'''; during the [[Spanish Empire]] it was called '''La Plata'''. Before the arrival of the Spanish, the city of Chuquisaca had its own autonomy with respect to the [[Inca Empire]] (the [[Charca people|Charcas]] were the only people that did not pay the ransom for the Inca captive). Today, the region is of predominantly [[Quechua people|Quechua]] background, with some [[Aymara people|Aymara]] communities and influences.
