This model shows in the center the Altar of Santa Librada located in the Sigüenza Cathedral (Guadalajara, Spain). It is one of the finest examples of Plateresque art (16th century) created to contain the relics of Santa Librada. The Altar contains a beautiful altarpiece showing scenes from the life of Saint Librada, magnificent works of art painted by Juan Soreda between 1526 and 1528. The model shows also the impressive Mausoleum of Fadrique de Portugal, bishop of Sigüenza (1512-1532).

3D model made in Reality Capture using 6604 camera and 22 scan positions. Additional processing completed in Geomagic Wrap and Zbrush.
