We are honored by all the distinctions achieved throughout our trajectory. Wanting to highlight the recognition of our work, on two occasions, in the European Union Awards for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra, one of the most relevant worldwide in the field of Heritage conservation. The first one in 2016 with the Special Mention in the category of Dedication to Heritage Service and the second one in 2018 in the category of Conservation for the Restoration of the Façade of the College of San Ildefonso of the University of Alcalá de Henares, in which the international Jury awarded the excellent restoration carried out by our teams, highlighting the respectful recovery of the historical patina of such a unique monument.
