Overview: During the century. In the 16th century, fresco painting artists worked intensively on the Trasmontana streak, on both sides of the border, enriching churches, chapels and chapels. There are dozens of cases that have been identified, often hidden behind later altarpieces. In the Chapel of Santo Cristo de Picote and in the Hermitage "Os Santos" conservation and restoration campaigns were carried out that confirm the hypotheses about the unique characteristics of fresh painting in this region of the Iberian Peninsula. A surprising visit by Joaquim Inácio Caetano, the conservator-restorer who took care of these two findings.
