Abstract

La caracterización de piedras utilizadas en monumentos y la ubicación de sus canteras históricas es clave para los trabajos de mantenimiento y restauración. En el convento de las Trinitarias Descalzas de San Ildefonso de Madrid se han utilizado las cuatro piedras de construcción más representativas de esta ciudad: sílex, granito, dolomía cretácica y caliza miocena. En 1870 se colocó una lápida tallada en mármol de Carrara en la fachada principal en honor al escritor Miguel de Cervantes.

El deterioro de las piedras se determina con técnicas de caracterización como microscopía óptica de polarización y de fluorescencia, así como la espectrofotometría que da información sobre el cambio de color que han experimentado las piedras con relación a las extraídas en cantera. La documentación histórica complementa estos datos.
