Wealthy banker and mining baron Don Francisco Argandona, along with his wife, Clotilde Urioste Velasco, dominated Sucre society in the late Nineteenth Century. The couple ran their own orphanage, and built Glorieta Castle, one of South America’s strangest palaces, just outside of Sucre. A statue saluting Don Francisco Argandona’s largesse stands today in front of the castle. The statue depicts him standing hand in hand with one of the many orphans he helped to support over the years. In my interpretation of that monument, I moved in and shot upwards, to meld the statue to the soaring castle rising behind it. For his efforts, Pope Leo XIII issued a papal bull in 1898, declaring Argandona and his wife “Prince and Princess of the Glorieta.” They became the only “royalty” Bolivia ever had, and they built the palace to suit their new status.
