CHARACTERISATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OF THE NASRID TOWER OF EL CAMBRÓN (SALOBREÑA, GRANADA).

In this project, a characterisation of the materials that make up the Torre Nazarí del Cambrón, located in the gardens of the Hotel Salobreña (Granada), was carried out.

For this purpose, a series of samples of bricks and mortar from different areas of the Tower were studied in order to detect possible constructional differences between the samples taken and the presence of pathologies.

The analysis techniques used were X-ray diffraction and thin-film optical microscopy.
