In the present research structure sample were analysed and the problem of salt crystallization in the structure deterioration was approached.

It was found that salts on the structure surface rarely crystalize due to high environmental RH in the area of study. Therefore, it can be inferred that probably salt plays a minor role in the stone deterioration, while the main causes of deterioration should be further studied.

129Quarry and structure stone were physical-chemical compared through X-ray and petrographical analysis. Quarry stones were found compatible for replacement of deteriorated block, although further research is needed to include more relevant physical and aesthetic variables in the analysis of stone replacement such as colour, texture and moisture transport properties.
