This study presents the structural diagnosis of the clock tower building of the Plaza de Armas in the district of Huaro, province of Quispicanchi, Cusco Region—Peru in which compressive strength tests of concrete cores were carried out according to MTC E 704 with field and laboratory tests. As for the destructive tests, two concrete cores were extracted from level 1 and level 2 of the clock tower with diamond drills, and as for the non-destructive tests, the sclerometer measuring instrument was used in four columns, two columns from level 1 and two columns from level 2 of the clock tower. The results of the destructive and non-destructive tests diagnosed that the structure does not have the necessary compressive strength to withstand a possible earthquake in the area, therefore, the building must be reconstructed; also comparing this result with other research shows that at the time of evaluating and making decisions it is better to reconstruct the building, which will be shown in future research.
