The study of the microclimate is a fundamental prerequisite of cultural heritage restorationstrategy, as the durability of the interventions strongly depends on the environmental conditions.Before the restoration of the frescoes of the apse, seriously degraded, the microclimate in theCapilla Mayor of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral was monitored continuously for oneyear to assess the main environmental risks and elaborate a preventive conservation plan.The main natural and anthropic factors affecting the microclimate of the Capilla wereidentified, as well as their relevance and the associated risk of damage to the frescoes. Inparticular, the thermo-hygrometric values measured close to the vault were not fully incompliance with respect to the ranges indicated in literature for the conservation of thefrescoes. Finally, solutions were suggested to improve the environmental conditions in theCapilla, thus reducing further damage and enhancing the durability of the frescoes after theplanned restoration
