Abstract
The authors present conservation and restoration works carried out on the Gothic two-light window (bifora) from the first storey of the Great Papalić Palace, now in the care of Split City Museum. The builder of the Papalić Palace was Giorgio da Sebenico and the palace belongs to the Venetian type of residential architecture. The presentation gives a detailed survey of the pre-treatment condition of the bifora’s stone elements, including surface deposits and damages. Some of the most notable damages to the stone plastics take form of black crusts and cracks caused by static problems and the expansion of corroded metal elements. For the purposes of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the present salts, stone samples were taken and processed in the laboratory. The ensuing conservation – restoration intervention involved mechanical cleaning of the stone surface, followed by the stabilisation of harmful salts. All of the corroded metal elements were removed.
