One of the famous religious properties in the Citadel of Bam which cracked seriously and faced with anaverage rate of damage between 25-50% during 2003 Bam earthquake; is called ‘Tekiyeh’ or ‘Religious Theater’. Theintervention plans applied in different parts of the Tekiyeh could be recognized as one of the best examples forcollaboration between the engineering restoration outcome and traditional restoration knowledge, as well as theproportion of the physical condition of the property after destruction with its proposed intervention plans. For proposingan acceptable restoration methods considering the value and authenticity of the Tekiyeh and its structural stabilityagainst of the next possible earthquake, such natural and artificial elements as palm rope, palm cable, palm mesh andfiberglass rod have been introduced to its different parts as tensile elements which in turn is a brilliant experience inIran. In this paper after giving detailed information about architectural, structural and physical conditions of theTekiyeh of Bam Citadel before and after the earthquake, and the information related to its conservation history, methodsused and their problems, it tries to address precisely the measure which was separately executed in its different sidesaccording to its physical requirements. It should be also mentioned that Author in August 2015 has a site visit fromBam Citadel and in his visitation tried to provide a complete pictorial report from activates have been done in theTekiyeh. Therefore, to find required data of the study focus groups, in-depth individual interviews and review ofprimary and secondary sources and documents were employed.
