One of the most iconic buildings in Montevideo is Palacio Salvo, in the heart of the city: 18 de Julio Avenue and Plaza Independencia. Built between 1922 and 1928 by Mario Palanti, an Italian architect, it was commissioned by Salvo brothers.

In the declaration of Palacio Salvo as National Historical Monument, in 1996, it is clearly stated the relevance of its preservation and recovery (Presidential Resolution N° 1144/996, Uruguay). In this sense, an agreement was signed between the company owner of the building, Palacio Salvo S. A., and FADU (Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo – Universidad de la República) for a study for the conservation of its façades (IC-FADU, 2019). The ICG team (Instituto de Ciencias Geológicas, Facultad de Ciencias) was assigned a 3-month period the deterioration assessment of the granitic external façade of the ground floor.
