• Resumen

  • In this paper brick samples of different areas of Alhambra are studied. In spite of belonging to different times and constructions, data got to now are fairly homogeneous as to point out that the raw material and manufacture should be very similar. The optical microscopy reveals a very rich matrix in illite, where we can see the begining of formation of high temperature phases. Most of the temper is natural, however there is an addition of "chamotte" and limestone. The mineralogy obtained by XRD show that the bricks were cooked at a temperature between 800 and 850º C.
