In this paper, an integrated prospecting performed in the atypical Romanesque church of San Giovanni al Sepolcro in Brindisi, southern Italy is presented. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and ultrasonic data have been gathered on the circular load‐bearing colonnade of the monument. Here the results achieved on two of the columns are shown. The GPR data have been processed and have allowed to identify and focus the medieval internal metallic hinges joining the stone trunks in one of the columns and some reinforcement rebars in the other (and probably also the residual track of a restored fracture). The ultrasonic data have allowed to monitor the state of compactness and to assess the effectiveness of reinforcement interventions on the columns.

“…Thus, combining GPR with seismic surveys, the conclusions offer a higher level of certainty and knowledge about the analysed structure because of the images and mechanical properties provided by seismic methods. Examples of seismic evaluations in cultural heritage can be found in [4] [5].…”

Columns are one of the most usual supporting structures in cultural heritage buildings. This work presents the study of different columns using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) combined with seismic tomography. These columns belong to a Gothic Cathedral and to a Modernista Building. In the first case, columns are constructed with regular ash lars. GPR provide images that could define the internal ashlar distribution and shape, and the possible existence of inner cracks. However, the images must be supported with additional information from a seismic survey that could provide evidences about the stone quality. In the second case, columns are built with irregular and fragmented clay bricks, and mortar. The internal irregular and complex structure causes complicate 2D images. However, 3D images provide valuable information about the condition of the internal tube and indicate the existence of irregular elements.Results present high correlation with seismic data. In conclusion, results provide information and 3D images defining damaged areas and inner structures. Also, comparing the different methods with the structural knowledge, it is possible to define potential and limits of non destructive testing applied to these elements.

“…Ground penetrating radar (GPR) provides more detailed results than other geophysical methods, because it can image the position and the depth of targets within very complex and restricted areas. The method is non-destructive and can be applied on a surface, a wall, or a monument [21][22][23]. The method can also be used in urban areas or in archaeological structures and, depending on the antennas and the particular situation, can achieve a resolution of the order of several centimetres [24][25][26].…”
