Building constructed on a base of parapet, in a much deteriorated state up to its exterior walls. Its reconstruction began in 1998.

The original windows had practically disappeared, there were only fragments left, and by means of old photographs, it was possible to contemplate its original appearance. Pieces that are now inexistent, such as the small beams and small-girders of the windows and doors of curvilinear tracery of the first and second floors, had to be built in an identical way as the originals. It’s actually a form of the so-called “Trieste Lilies” (three circles placed in a trifoliate arch.) The different original arches of the ground floor also needed to be reproduced according to the original ones.

State of the work

Loose fragments of the windows. In some cases not even the holes for the original windows remained.

Diagnosis

By means of a study of old sketches and diagrams we had to carry out a work plan to fabricate the windows, making them true reproductions of the original ones. In the same way we had to elaborate an acting plan to carry out the brickwork related to the placing of the windows.
