Abstract

The color of the World Heritage Site is a very delicate and vulnerable component of the architectural heritage. It is linked to its materiality, its application technique, its consistency, which helps to build the identity of the heritage. If it is lost or replaced by other colors with non-original materials, the identity of the leather is lost. We present the restoration of the Cenador del León of the Real Alcázar of Seville in which the architectural intervention was as significant as the garden in the search for chromatic harmony and coatings. The constant goal was to recover the spirit of this historic place. It was a challenge because it is located in the gardens declared a World Heritage Site. This respect, together with the general conservation criteria followed (coatings, paintings, majolica, metal elements, vegetation, etc.) led to an intervention that was respectful of the historical future and an overall vision integrating all the elements of the Cenador and its gardens.
