Yeserías (carved plaster decorations) are the embodiment of the co-habitation of Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities in Spain. These elaborately carved plaster wall coverings represent the fusion of different cultural identities into a decorative form that evolved into a reflection of political and religious change.

A number of yeserías were recorded in high-resolution throughout 2020 and 2021, using photogrammetry, LiDAR and the Lucida 3D Scanner in the Royal Alcázar and the Casa de Pilatos in Seville, the Casa de Mesa and the Sinagoga del Transito in Toledo. Facsimiles of the panels will form a plaster ‘lapidarium’ in the rooms created by Factum and Charlotte Skene Catling for the Spanish Gallery in Bishop Auckland.
