It can be made from a range of aggregates and binders such as lime, earth, gypsum and cement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In constructing the Punta Bego\u00f1a Galleries several mortars with different compositions and aggregates were used for different purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The tiles, the ornamental stone slabs in the main hall, the sandstone blocks in the base wall, the bricks and the balustrade are all set into render-type mortar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Several layers of smoother, decorative plaster mortar can clearly be seen at the tops of the walls in all the galleries and on the ceilings. In the main hall the murals are painted directly onto the plaster, while in the corridors of the galleries a wide range of ornamental features such as cloverleaf designs and geometrical symbols are also picked out in plasterwork. The pillars, the exterior columns and the reinforced concrete angle pieces on the fa\u00e7ade are also clad in several layers of mortar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the main components of mortar is sand. In the construction of these galleries considerable use was made of beach sand: indeed, fragments of seashells are clearly visible in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;346&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;caption&#8221;]Left: cloverleaf decorative motifs in plasterwork on the ceiling of the north-west gallery.
