The restoration of the Pallas Pacifera in the main courtyard of the Casa de Pilatos has been completed.

3 January 2012

This Medici Athena, carved in one of the first fila workshops in Campania during the reign of Hadrian, is the most complete known version of this type of sculpture, as it is the only one that conserves its original head, and therefore the one that best evokes its probable model, the Athena Promachos by Phidias. With the conclusion of the intervention on this work, more than forty pieces have now been restored from the sculptural collection of the 1st Duke of Alcalá, a project that began four years ago and which forms part of the recovery of all the marbles conserved in the Casa de Pilatos.
