Description:
The intervention carried out in this urban space seeks to enhance the value of the complex, restoring its image and facilitating its archaeological and historical reading, since the square, very deteriorated and uniformly painted white, had lost its own identity. The scientific character of the intervention has been supported by the ancient documentary study and the archaeological investigation of its coatings. Its facades have been restored, keeping fidelity to the witnesses found who show that the square had its buildings plastered in color. Traditional lime plasters have been executed, consolidating their wooden structures and eliminating degradation.
