RETURN OF COLUMBUS, , 19th Century painting. LAS CASTAS, Anon, 18th Century. The city did not just prove fatal to the thousands who died in the mines. Licences to travel to the Andean Altiplano were tightly controlled, but many Spaniards sought work aboard merchant vessels — then abandoned their posts at the earliest opportunity.

The new arrivals began to clash with the Basque ruling class who had come to dominate the city , causing vicious gang wars. Thousands died in the fighting, fuelled by gossip and rumours that travelled on the icy Andean wind.

Modern Potosí is a shell of its former self. The mountain still towers over the city but it is crumbling inside, made unstable by the hundreds of miles of mine shafts constructed over the years it has been exploited.

The poverty and dilapidation of modern Potosí mask the story of a once-imperial city whose grand villas are now restaurants, hairdressers and dental surgeries. But high in the Andes above the treeline, the rich mountain remains — its contents now in Armada shipwrecks, the jewellery of Arab rulers, and the remaining treasures of the Ming dynasty.

Few places in the world were left untouched by its riches.
