The seismic vulnerability assessment of monumental buildings is a complex task. Several uncertainties mine the reliability of evaluations. Within historical buildings, churches appear as particularly vulnerable objects, prone to instabilities and collapse when undergoing seismic loads. Global and local collapse mechanisms related to in plane and out-of-plane response of walls, respectively, are commonly observed in existing masonry buildings subjected to a seismic event. The main cause is the lack of strong connections among orthogonal walls and between walls and floors, which does not allow a global box-type behaviour of the building. This paper shows an approach to evaluate the vulnerability of churches based on a three-step analysis with increasing detail. The first step is a large-scale analysis to be applied to sets of churches, based on a simplified form comparing 28 mechanisms that can be activated by seismic events. The second step is referred to the evaluation of single churches and related, based on a kinematic approach, to the possibility to have out-of-plane mechanisms. The third step is based on the results of numerical models. It is useful to evaluate the behaviour in detail of some macroelements and to validate the obtained results in the first two steps.
