The present study shows the analysis performed on pigment samples taken from Sant Pere (Terrassa, Catalonia, Spain), a remarkable church built in Romanesque style. On basis of results obtained analysis, an interesting discussion arises after finding evidence Egyptian blue one samples, discovery that was not expected due to time period samples. pigments were identified by combined use FTIR and SEM with EDS facility. For pigment, since analyses suggested possible presence cuprorivaite, micro‐XRD experiments using synchrotron radiation run.
