Rafale Contreras 1824-1890 was the head restorer of the Alhambra appointed by Queen Isabella II and who carried out a major restoration in the Nasrid palace between 1847 and 1889. He was preceded in his position by his father José and succeeded by his son Mariano making the Contreras family in charge of restorations at the palace from 1840 through 1907. Rafael was appointed after presenting the Queen with a three-dimensional scale model of the Hall of the Two Sisters with a goal of his restoration being to change the look of the Alhambra to one that was more "Oriental" in style. He focused only on the wall surfaces substituting original decorations with newer plaster casts. Some of the Contreras' restorations were quite controversial including the complete demolition of the Sala de Camas and the conversion of several gabled roofs into colorful tiled domes. Many of the walls were in a state of ruin lacking any original decoration and the Contreras family decided to fill in the gaps with decorative motifs which did not necessarily belong. Rafael Contreras also created a successful business seizing upon the influx of visitors to the Alhambra. He created architectural scale models and plaster casts of the Alhambra in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms which he sold as souvenirs.
