The present paper aims to address this issue by testing and validating a streamlined workflow on a significative and complex historical building, namely, the church of Santa Ana in Seville, Spain.
This method is currently being applied to the church of Santa Ana in Seville, and its application is presented in the following sections to illustrate the methodology in detail. As of now, the implementation has progressed to the definition of the numerical model, including the calibration phase. Future work entails defining and implementing the monitoring system.
The church of Santa Ana in Seville (Spain) is selected as the case study to support the validation and testing of the methodology envisaged in this paper. Its architectural and constructive features make this building a suitable and significant case study, being representative of many of the religious buildings in southern Spain, an area that presents a moderate seismic hazard and many heritage assets.
The historical context in which the church of Santa Ana was built is marked by the conquest of Seville by the troops of Fernando III of Castile in 1248.

Due to this growth, the existing church in this area became insufficient, and it was decided to build a new church, namely, Santa Ana church, .
