The Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria in Galatina (Lecce, Italy): NDT surveys for the conservation project

The basilica was built between 1369 and 1391, by order of Raimondello Orsini del Balzo. The building, on Raimondello's death in 1405, will be completed by his wife, Princess Maria d'Enghien, and then by his son, Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo. A study, using non-destructive techniques (NDT) was undertaken inside and on the façade of the Basilica to investigate the oldest structure of the church and to help in restoration work. The NDT analysis showed interesting results.
