Summary
A comprehensive project to preserve and restore the leather paintings on the vaults of the Sala de los Reyes in the Alhambra, Granada, was developed through a structured, multi-phase approach. The initiative, led by the Patronato de la Alhambra y el Generalife with support from the Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico, prioritizes urgent conservation actions for both the paintings and their wooden supports while addressing the structural needs of the heritage site. The methodology outlined in this study emphasizes an integrated strategy that balances technical intervention with long-term preservation, ensuring the stability of the artwork within its architectural context. This phase-based framework aims to mitigate risks to the paintings while maintaining the integrity of the historic structure.
