Abstract
This review paper examines the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in the seismic retrofitting of historical buildings. Drawing upon secondary data collected from Scopus and other databases, the review explores the delicate balance between preserving structural integrity and maintaining cultural heritage. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, architects, preservationists, and cultural heritage experts. The review analyzes various retrofitting strategies, methods, and conservation-compatible solutions, highlighting their efficacy in enhancing the resilience of historical structures while respecting their unique architectural character and historical significance. The findings underscore the critical need for a holistic approach that integrates structural reinforcement with heritage preservation, ensuring the sustainable development and continued appreciation of these invaluable cultural assets for future generations.
