This REPORT presents both the works in progress and those completed by the research group of Structural Engineering of Heritage Buildings (IEEP for its acronym in Spanish) of the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (UAA). One of the criteria in the decision to incorporate them was their orientation to diagnose the structural condition of Catholic temples in the Historic Center of Aguascalientes using non-destructive methods. The REPORT focuses on the analysis of the temple of San Antonio de Padua and the Cathedral of Aguascalientes, due to its architectural relevance and for being culturally iconic. The results highlight the importance of using this type of intervention in buildings that have heritage value in order to preserve not only their architecture but also their socio-cultural and religious value.
