Point Coud - Plaza Mayor of San Carlos del Valle

This point cloud was collected using three FARO Focus3D laser scanners in 2017. The main square (plaza mayor) of San Carlos del Valle stands in the
historical and cultural center of the town, presenting an excellent
state of preservation. It was built in the 18th century as a large
public space intended to house the market, celebrations, important or
solemn events and leisure spaces. The square is almost rectangular in
shape and is delimited by large arcaded galleries formed by beautiful
stone columns. The upper galleries of the square are open as they
served to contemplate the public shows organized in the square. On one
of its sides stands the church of the Santísimo Cristo del Valle,
built in the 18th century on an old hermitage. The square also housed
the Town Hall and a Hostelry that allowed travelers and pilgrims to be
accommodated.
