This report describes the exhaustive study performed during the internship in the Masters of Conservation and Restoration, from the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar. In accordance to the plan of work previously defined, the traineeship was done around the Chapel of the Fonsecas, in the Parish Church of Our Lady of Light in Maceira, Leiria.
