Borja was quite an anonymous town until 2012, when the attempt to restore the fresco Ecce Homo spread its name all around the world.
This trivial episode can be seen as an allegory of the complexity of the processes of heritage rehabilitation / preservation / destruction in the globalized world.
Starting from the Ecce Homo incident, this text will elaborate on the principles of heritage preservation of the so-called Porto School, using examples of contemporary interventions from Fernando Távora, Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto Moura.
