The current paper aims at the restoration of the facades of the Alicia Alonso Havana Great Theatre, headquarters of the prestigious National Ballet of Cuba and considered an important building with recognized tangible and intangible values. It is located at the border of the old city. Its stone façades had different states of damages that were undergoing a constructive process based on proper conservation treatment. The most remarkable characteristics of the main morphologies of alteration, factors and mechanisms that influenced their evolution were shown in this work as well as the proposals of solutions to eradicate them, dealing mainly with the cleaning of the stone, selection of the used method, and the corresponding results.
