Huaro
The church of San Juan Bautista de Huaro, in Cusco, was built by Jesuits in the sixteenth century and its murals and decorations show a fascinating fusion of indigenous and colonial beliefs and styles. The church was declared as a Peruvian historical monument in 1972 (World Monument Fund, 2015). To analyze and check the time-evolution of the structural behavior of the church a remote structural health monitoring (SHM) is applied in-situ and the data are send by a system of shared folders to the PUCP laboratory server. The automatic estimation of the dynamic data is obtained by the SSI-Data method with the use of cleaning and clustering criteria.

Andahuaylillas
The Saint Peter Apostle church of Andahuaylillas, in Cusco, is an emblematic example of a large number of early colonial adobe churches in Peru. This monument is considered as the 'Sistine chapel of the Americas' due to its historical, architectural and artistic features. The investigation of its seismic behavior has received almost no attention even though the church is located in a high seismicity zone. For this reason the structural health monitoring (SHM) is applied to this church because it is a powerful tool to quantify and reduce uncertainties regarding its structural performance without causing damage to the structure and respecting the modern conservation principles. In this process an automated procedure apt to manage the results obtained from the parametric identification method, (Data-Driven Stochastic Subspace Identification method - SSI-Data) is developed for the automatic estimation of the dynamic parameters (natural frequency, damping and mode shape). The data are preliminary recorded in-situ and subsequently send with a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to a PUCP laboratory server.
