Surface orange patinas on the limestone of the Batalha Monastery (Portugal): characterization and decay patterns

29 July 2021

The research focused on investigating orange patinas found on limestone surfaces at the Batalha Monastery. The study aimed to determine the composition, formation, and degradation patterns of these patinas. Different compositions and appearances were observed on an ornament and a window tracery, suggesting varied formation pathways. The orange patina on the ornament appeared to be intentionally applied, containing gypsum and hematite. In contrast, the orange patina on the window tracery seemed to have formed naturally, possibly due to atmospheric pollutants or bacterial activity. Comparisons were made with previous research, indicating
