Antonio José de Sucre y Alcalá (Spanish pronunciation: [an'tonjo xo'se ðe 'suk?e j alka'la] (listen); 1795–1830), known as the "Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho" (English: "Grand Marshal of Ayacucho"), was a Venezuelan independence leader who served as the fourth President of Peru and as President of Bolivia.
Sucre was one of Simón Bolívar's closest friends, generals and statesmen.
Due to his influence on geopolitical affairs of Latin America, a number of notable localities on the continent now bear Sucre's name.
These include the eponymous capital of Bolivia, the Venezuelan state, the department of Colombia and both the old and new airports of Ecuador's capital Quito.
Additionally, many schools, streets and districts across the region bear his name as well.
