One of the most important processes to accurately predict structural responses is to evaluate accurate structural dynamic characteristics using finite element(FE) models. The numerical structural dynamic characteristics usually show considerable discrepancies with the measured ones because structural details are commonly simplified in the FE models. To identify such discrepancies, FE models of them have been calibrated using the measured dynamic characteristics in previous researches. In this study, the dynamic characteristics were measured for a historic cathedral and the FE model of it was calibrated using the measured results as a reference. Finally, a procedure of the FE model construction for the unreinforced masonry cathedral were tentatively proposed.
