The conservation of decayed brick-stone facades has been proceeded by laboratory investigations as well as by a diagnosis of the causes of destruction. Descriptive, photographic and drawing documentation has been carried out. The first stage of the work consisted of archeological excavations conducted in the vicinity of the church. A series of construction-building operations of prophylactic importance has been conducted. All historical stratifications have been distinguished. The loss of bricks has been supplemented on the basis of mineral components, and the joints have been reconstructed following original forms, surface quality and colouring. The mediaeval stone socle of the church was reconstructed. A whole brick weft has been structurally consolidated and hydrophobized. A suitable aesthetic arrangement has been achieved through the removal of foreign and stylistically jarring material which was replaced with technologically new and aesthetically integral elements. The Gothic church of St. Mark is an example of a complex approach to technical and aesthetic conservation which involves the participation of experts representing different fields.
