San Carlos del Valle opens from its splendid Plaza Mayor with an orthogonal projection and an almost round perimeter. Everything extends around an origin of spokes, the center of that circumference, the church of Santísimo Cristo del Valle, where the peak of the compass overwhelms us. It is a late baroque church, with certain influences of the neoclassical style. It is an immense cube with four towers superimposed on its corners and an enormous dome that emerges above the building. The temple has four facades, two of which have in their center a main door of extraordinary beauty and well-deserved study.

The beautiful main square was built by the same architect with the intention of being like an atrium to frame it and showcase it within the complex. The square is an enormous rectangle that measures almost 53 m long by 21 m wide: on one side, the City Hall with a cantilevered balcony on wooden corbels; to the other, the Casa Grande de la Hospedería. It has a carriage yard to which wooden galleries open. From its flanks emerge the brick arches that give way to the radial, wide and straight streets of this town.

Above the Campo de Montiel appears this town which is located in the old middle of a mountainous foothills that groups the Sierra del Cristo on the east side and the Sierra de los Bailones on the west side. The typical architecture of this area dominates the streets of the center.
