This paper presents the procedure for the structural monitoring control of a masonry historic building that presents a serious damage pattern. Structural monitoring was carried out with transducers installed to control the serious cracks that regards the main volumes of the building. The global structural health monitoring was useful to define the actual condition of the dynamic behavior of the damaged construction that are subjected to different mechanism. Ground penetrating radar allows to detect the depth of the cracks and the condition of the masonry.
