Residential Monuments & historical plasters

Conde de Cabra Palace

Conde de Cabra Palace

The Palace of Conde de Cabra resides in one of the most emblematic streets of Granada’s historical neighbourhood of Albaycín.

The contrast of the traditional and characteristic white lime plasters, a hallmark of Andalusian vernacular architecture, and the classic terracotta colour of the continuous plaster, resembling the tones of the Alhambra citadel, highlights the intricate volumes of the palace and fitting it perfectly with its surroundings.

Raquel was responsible for the 2006 restoration of the coloured and white plaster of the facade, and restoration of the brick joints.
