This paper attempts to describe the general structural conditions of historical adobe buildings which are mainly located in the coast of Peru that is a zone of high seismic activity. The seismicity of the zone is discussed through an earthquake hazard analysis and the importance of action towards the protection of heritage architecture in Peru is emphasized. It is noted that the state of general disrepair and the intrinsic weakness of the earthen constructions add to the seismic vulnerability of this kind of heritage architecture. Besides, the repair after actual damage or destruction from earthquakes, even when timely undertaken, may lead to alteration of valuable originality of heritage structures, owing to the unavailability of materials or skill from the time of the original constructions. The need for initiatives towards preventive actions for protection from damages and prevention of collapse due to earthquake disasters appears quite evident.
