CP 001077 | Restoration of Consolation Chapel in Lugo, Spain

The chapel adjoining the old Church of San Pedro in Lugo, Spain was constructed in 1690. Its ancient roof structure was based on trusses simply supported in putlog holes located in the main wall of the church. Damage appeared here. Over time, the lower vault of the structure deteriorated to the point of limiting access to the interior.

The renovation consisted of completely replacing the roof in order to make the space below fully usable again and to provide natural light to the main temple room through the stunning church windows. Previously, the windows were boarded up in order to support the roof trusses.
