When it is necessary to investigate both the question of durability and the incidence of pathological manifestations in buildings, often non-destructive procedures are used to infer causes, behaviors and anomalies, as well as to identify and map regions of damage to structures and other systems of buildings. Among the various methods for carrying out the tests in question, thermography stands out. Described as a generic term, thermography is based on techniques used to detect the temperature on the surface of objects, mapping them through the field temperature distribution of the image. It can be presented as a non-destructive method of visual identification of the surface temperature gradi-ent of a body, under ambient conditions without maintaining direct contact with it. The present paper had as objec-tive to analyze the pathological manifestations present in a nineteenth century building, the Mother Church of Nossa Senhora da Piedade do Paraopeba, located in the city of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with the aid of a thermo graphic camera. The use of this technique was effective since it was a property listed by municipal historical patrimony, for which destructive tests would not be recommended.
