Esgrafiado es una técnica ornamental arquitectónica utilizada para la decoración en el enlucido y revestimiento de muros, tanto en el exterior como en el interior de edificios.1 El término, de origen italiano (sgraffiare),2 se aplica tanto a la acción artesana como al producto resultante.3 En materia de albañilería, puede considerarse como una variedad o tipo de grabado realizado sobre una superficie estofada, a partir de dos capas o colores superpuestos que permiten revelar formas o dibujos al retirar o rallar la capa exterior.4 En los revestimientos de fachadas y decoración de algunos interiores suelen utilizarse plantillas con motivos geométricos seriados. En la península ibérica, este oficio, de algún modo heredero del arte decorativo parietal, tuvo su origen en el trabajo artesano de los alarifes mudéjares, que dejaron diferentes ejemplos en Andalucía, Aragón, Castilla, Cataluña, Levante y Portugal.
