Tours (in Spanish only) give a good explanation of the life and work of the Carmelite nuns and their monastery. Very little flagellation (LP).
National Mint of Bolivia
Cl. Ayacocha s/n, is the former royal mint of Spain, where the coins of the world's most powerful currency were produced during the colonial era from locally-mined silver. It now houses a museum, located at the mint's second location (prior to 1773 it was located at what's now the yellow courthouse on Plaza 10 de Noviembre). Visits are by guided tour only (English M-Sa at 09:00, 11:00, and 14:30; Su 10:30 or 11:00) which takes about 2 hr. The museum has a collection of religious art, contemporary art, local minerals, and well-preserved artifacts covering several hundred years of technologies from both of the mint's two historical locations.
