%X The South fa ade of the Senate of Spain (Marina Square, Madrid) has undergone transformations since it was the old Convent-College of the Augustinians (1581-1601). According to photographical and historical documentation, by 1951 the coating was fully repaired and all its compositional and ornamental elements were dismantled. The reconstruction was carried out using cladding with an artificial stone (polished ※arcosita Butsems§) made with a low content of portlandite, according to the XRD and FTIR tests performed. This paper covers the taking of samples, the testing and analysis of the materials, and a brief description of the pathological processes suffered as a result of the manufacture and installation of the cladding. La fachada sur del Senado de Espa a (Plaza de la Marina de Madrid) ha sufrido transformaciones desde que fuera el antiguo convento-colegio de Agustinos (1581-1601). Seg迆n la documentaci車n fotogr芍fica e hist車rica, hacia 1951 se sane車 completamente el revestimiento y se desmontaron todos sus elementos compositivos y ornamentales. La reconstrucci車n se llev車 a cabo mediante un chapado de piedra artificial (※arcosita Butsems§ pulida), hecha con baja presencia de portlandita seg迆n los ensayos XRD y FTIR realizados. En el trabajo se presenta la toma de muestras, la caracterizaci車n de los materiales y una breve descripci車n de los procesos patol車gicos sufridos a causa de la fabricaci車n y colocaci車n del aplacado.
