Restoring Bolivia's Silver Fortress | Art News

Bolivia’s iconic Casa Nacional de Moneda in Potosí is launching a five-year restoration project—starting with roof repairs for $513K, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. Built between 1759–1773 as a colonial mint, this fortress-like complex spans two city blocks and tells a powerful story of silver wealth, Spanish rule, indigenous history, and slavery. Though the museum stays open during work, this is just phase one; the Central Bank will lead future stonework to preserve this UNESCO World Heritage Site for generations.
