	abstract = {<p>Abstract The Monastery of Alcoba{\c c}a houses in reserve the ceramic tiles that adorned the floor of the church{\textquoteright}s apse. These tiles were removed during rehabilitation works and many preserve part of their original fixing mortars. A comprehensive analysis of 21 samples was conducted using a multi-analytical approach (X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy{\textendash}energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, μ-Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry{\textendash}differential thermal analysis, optical microscopy, and colorimetry). Results suggest compositional variations in the samples from the back and sides of the ceramic tiles; however, the mineralogy and general characteristics of the aggregates remained consistent between the samples and are coherent with the local geology, suggesting a shared historical origin.</p>
