Abstract: The protection of cultural heritage consists of research, examination, diagnosis, conservation and documentation. The most important factor for the success of the study is the accuracy of the identification and documentation study. In recent years, in addition to traditional documentation studies, technological developments have started to be used in the documentation studies of cultural heritage. These studies have shown themselves in the field of photogrammetry. Photogrammetry is a science that helps to create a precise 3D model of the object by making use of at least two pictures taken from different angles of the object. Photogrammetry increases the possibilities for use in cultural heritage studies, research projects and engineering applications that require highly accurate spatial data.In this study, 3D model of Ismoil Somoniy Tomb/Samanid Mausoleum in Bukhara was made in photomodeler software. All architectural details of the tomb were documented with the help of the model. The digital data obtained as a result of the study can be used by all professional disciplines in the studies related to the subject.
