This is a crucial moment for the historically singular construction element known as the tile vault. A lack of knowledge or understanding on the part of a substantial number of the professionals engaging in restoration and rehabilitation may occasion the disappearance, forevermore, of many of the structures that form a part of the history of Spanish construction. But the opposite may also occur, i.e., a new sensibility towards our material heritage may lead to the permanent conservation of the many such vaults that are fortunately still standing.
According to the evidence discussed in this article and depending on the course of events, either of the two trends may prevail in the near future. The author's obvious preference for the latter served as inspiration for this article.
