Abstract
Two groups of calcareous stones (porous and crystalline) used extensively in the architectural heritage of Granada (Spain) were studied to establish their compositional and petrophysical characteristics. The first group includes two types of very porous rocks, namely Santa Pudia bioclastic calcarenite (SP calcarenite) and Albox travertine (AL travertine); the second group comprises two types of crystalline rocks, i.e. Macael marble (MB marble) and Sierra Elvira limestone (SE limestone). An approach combining multiple analytical techniques was applied for this purpose.
