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.
