This paper focuses on a multi-step restoration approach for a historic building, Gazi Atik Ali Pasa madrasah constructed in 1498. In the first stage, the changes and interventions in the structure from the construction date were determined. In the second stage, material compositions were determined by physical and chemical ex-aminations of the samples taken from different parts of the building. Using these data, the compositions of the material for rehabilitation and repair practices were obtained and suggestions were made for the implementation stage. In the third stage, the seismic performance of the original structure was assessed through linear, pushover, and kinematic limit analyses. Numerical analyses were carried out considering different ground motion levels. The results of the linear analysis showed that the building's compressive strength was sufficient. According to the shear and inter-story drifts calculations conducted by nonlinear analysis, the building satisfies the "Limited Damage" and "Controlled Damage" performance criteria. The linear analysis also indicated that the building was structurally safe. The results of the kinematic limit analysis pointed out that no collapse mechanism occurred on the walls under the examined ground motions. In the final stage, all findings obtained in the previous stages were holistically evaluated, and a protection and repair practice was performed. The current study is believed to make a valuable contribution to the literature by presenting an approach including all necessary stages for the restoration of a heritage masonry building with historical importance.
