Abstract
Este trabajo describe la práctica de conservación realizada en el Faro del Castillo de El Morro de San Felipe en Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico; situado en una fortificación del siglo XVI que atestigua dos etapas constructivas y en las que sus diferentes materiales presentan deterioros propios de entornos costeros: humedad, salinidad y erosión por el viento. La coordinación entre las autoridades locales y el National Park Service (NPS, Estados Unidos) para la gestión del Faro en el Castillo de San Felipe El Morro es crucial para su conservación como inmueble de la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial (LPM, UNESCO). Además, las prácticas profesionales entre instituciones académicas en Latinoamérica y el Caribe en el campo de la Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales inmuebles, es esencial para enriquecer el conocimiento y las habilidades de los profesionales; aunque se requieren mejoras en la disponibilidad de recursos y tiempo para maximizar su efectividad. __________ This work describes the conservation practice carried out in the Lighthouse in the El Morro Castle in San Felipe, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico; located in a 16th century fortification that went through two phases of construction, whose different materials now present deterioration specific to coastal environments: humidity, salinity, and wind erosion. As a building listed in the World Heritage Sites (WHS, UNESCO), coordination between local authorities and the US National Park Service (NPS) is crucial for the conservation and management of the Lighthouse in the El Morro Castle in San Felipe. Moreover, professional practices between academic institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean in the field of conservation and restoration of immovable cultural property are essential to deepen the knowledge and skills of professionals; however, improvements in the availability of resources and time are necessary to maximize their effectiveness.
