Abstract (EN): The objective of this work is the study of the structural characterization of a 13th century building, placed in Tras-os-Montes, Portugal. In the rehabilitation of a building, the study of the architectural and structural plants is very important, being, usually, necessary to do an architectural and structural inspection and mechanical campaign, to characterize the building completely. With the support of the architectural and structural designs it is easier to locate the damages and/or pathologies, understanding the structural behavior and the influence of the detected damages in the response of the structure, assessing the degree of risk of those damages in the structural stability of the building, leading to a better rehabilitation plan. It is imperative to know the mechanical characteristics of the materials that compose the structures, to repair, and if needed replace them, according to its features, conducting to a sustainable rehabilitation, and preserving the original characteristics.
