Description

This old corner house, with its long hallways and balconies, is located in the historical center of the city. It belonged to the Major-General Antonio José de Sucre, distinguished and courageous man who participated in the Independence struggles.

This house was the residence of his wife Mariana Carcelen, Marchioness of Solanda, with whom he had a daughter who died at a young age. After the assassination of Major-General Sucre, his widow re-married to General Isidro Barriga. Sucre bought the house from his father in law and ordered its restoration, but was never able to live in it.

Today it is a military museum that brings to life the period of pro- independence struggle. In every room you are able to sense the atmosphere of daily life for the wealthy families of the time.
