Lecture ‘The secrets of Teobaldo’s tiles: a scientific perspective’. Navarra Museum. 7pm. Speaker: Iván Ruiz Ardanaz (University of Navarra, Department of Chemistry): In August 2009, a tiled floor was discovered in one of the halls of the Palace of Teobaldo II in Tiebas. Due to their typology, they were classified as originating in France. However, its discovery raised numerous questions about its history: How many were there? who made them? where? What? How were they transported to Navarra? Some of these questions have begun to be answered through an interdisciplinary study that combines history, archaeology, physics and chemistry.
