Parque Simón Bolívar
Originally designed and built in the mid-eighteenth century by Don Ramón Garcia Pizarro, a colonial administrator, this is the largest and most beautiful park in Sucre. Facing the entrance to the park is the Supreme Court building; the supreme court was founded by Antonio Jose de Sucre in 1827. The two “Arcos de Triunfo” at the entrance to this park were the gift of the Argandońas in 1900. The copy of the Eiffel Tower was added in 1925. This park has wonderful plantings and is very well maintained. It is an early morning favorite of runners and exercisers … including the Porters.
