Canfranc International Station is a railway station located in the Spanish municipality of Canfranc (Huesca). The international station is a building inaugurated in 1928 with an elongated floor plan with a bright and elegant interior. It has a functional distribution of the spaces starting from a central vestibule covered with a large dome. The project is focused on the restoration of the lobby, where the plaster decoration interior had practically disappeared, which meant a major issue on site given that the missing models had to be modeled with the support of photographs. For its reconstruction it has made rigid molds and, using Iberyola® E / 35, made the replicas, taking advantage of the great fineness of the product that allows a finish of high whiteness and perfection. The few original remains that have been preserved have been consolidated and reintegrated with Iberyola® stucco and inert filler.
