This is a point cloud of the Plaza Mayor de Almagro, located in Almagro Spain. The data were collected during the night in March 2017 using three FARO Focus3D laser scanners. Almagro’s main square is in the historical and
cultural center of the city, in the heart of the Military Order of
Calatrava. It was built in the 16th century as a large public
space for a market, celebrations, important or solemn
events and leisure space. Its size allowed, the holding of bullfights, before the exempt bullrings were
created. The plaza has a rectangular shape and is delimited by two
large galleries formed by beautiful stone columns. Originally
the upper galleries of the square were not closed as they
served to contemplate the public shows organized in the square. At one
end the Town Hall stands and at the other end the Church of
San Bartolomé, now disappeared. In addition, on one of its sides it is
still possible to visit the corral de comedias (theater) built in the
late 16th century or early 17th century.
