In modern times, there is a need to analyse the historical mortars of monuments and general buildings of historical and archaeological interest. This is necessary, so that based on the conclusions obtained, compatible and modern materials, and especially mineral lime paints, can be proposed. A major problem arises nowadays, because various paints are proposed that have an alkaline or acrylic composition, and so these paints mostly do not ensure the evaporation of water vapour and the escape of moisture from the building. The application of all the experimental procedures was the study of historical mortars and coatings from the churches in the Samaria Gorge. The historical mortars and coatings from the churches were analysed, and findings were obtained, based on which, at the final stage of their restoration, compatible and improved materials can be proposed for their restoration and maintenance, and specifically mineral paints with natural ochres and coatings that are breathable. These mineral paints may also have applications in modern buildings, since they have been successfully tested on cementitious substrates.
