波托西城

波托西城海拔3976米，是世界上海拔最高的城市之一。波托西城是著名的矿业城市，建于公元1546年，现为波托西省的首府。城市保存了大量完好的殖民时代建筑，从中央广场引出若干狭窄而弯曲的街道，周围屹立殖民时期的政府大院、市政厅、造币厂和大教堂。城中还有卡萨德拉莫内达集镇、圣洛伦佐教堂、贵族住宅区和工人居住区等遗迹。

In the 16th century, this area was regarded as the world’s largest industrial complex. The extraction of silver ore relied on a series of hydraulic mills. The site consists of the industrial monuments of the Cerro Rico, where water is provided by an intricate system of aqueducts and artificial lakes; the colonial town with the Casa de la Moneda; the Church of San Lorenzo; several patrician houses; and the barrios mitayos, the areas where the workers lived.
