This research is part of a doctoral thesis aimed at characterizing different earthquake-resistant systems used in historical masonry architecture. The objective is to analyze and classify these systems, to a large extent, still unknown, into structural and constructive types. Contributing to dispel this knowledge gap represents an important advance, not only to continue completing the history of the built historical heritage, but also in terms of the possibility of carrying out a rational conservation of this important legacy. The analytical methodology followed is the same that was used, 17 years ago, in the case of the Spanish Gothic cathedrals, which serve as a reference for the ongoing investigation. The article highlights the differences and analogies between the earthquake resistant systems detected in the historic earthquake-resistant masonry buildings analyzed in Spain and Iran.
