We came here and really enjoyed, particularly the roof top views which were breathtaking. The church is a vast complex and it takes some 1-2 hours to explore.
An amazing place which gives you the oportunity to see Colonial Sucre from a high roof. The place is very nicely maintained and the walk on the roof on a sunny day is breathtaking. The negative note is that the visting hours are limited and that it is kind of hard to find, since you have to enter through the school next door: Maria Auxiliadora.
We spent a happy hour or so gazing over the rooftops from every angle of this viewpoint. The church wasn't that amazing, although worth a peek, but the sun over Sucre was a winner. It now costs 15Bs, not 10.
I particularly didn't find it so nice. There is nothing really special but the view from the top. The church is just fine (there are other more interesting).
I was really looking forward to this place, but unlike what Lonely Planet said (newest edition), the church is closed on monday mornings. I had to rate to get this published, so I'll be good. Seen from the pictures it worth the stars!!Maybe next time I can really visit? :)
I was really looking forward to going to this church and it probably would have been great if we could have got in but it was never open and we searched all round the block for an entrance but everything was closed...despite going during the purported opening hours!!
I think you really need a guide if you are not Spanish speaking. It's not a church now but a school. Wish I had been to such a beautiful school! The building itself is very interesting. You also benefit from a great view of the city from the roof terrace. I don't know how much it costs as our guide bought the tickets. Recommended
Now a girls school, we were fortunate enough to visit during the school holidays so we had the entire place to ourselves. The building looks immaculate but probably the best aspect was the option to climb up on to the top terrace and view this incredible city. You can also go up the bell tower where the views improve.
We especially enjoyed the roof! Beautiful views of the city. Our grandson especially enjoyed climbing about.
This was an incredible tour. For 15 bs you can climb to the top of the church and get a full panorama of the city, not to mention an impressive self-guided tour of the full 4-story church.
