Monumental buildings are considered as a building group that includes many different types
of buildings, such as mosques, churches, madrasas, caravanserais, inns, and baths, built for
public use. Each of these buildings has spatial characteristics that vary according to the type
of building, periodical differences and regional character. However, it is seen that the majority
of these buildings have a plan setup consisting of small spaces that are articulated to a large
and central space. Among the monumental buildings, one of the building types that show this
central place feature is the churches. While the use of terrestrial laser scanning method in the
measurements of churches with central space provides many advantages, it also causes some
disadvantages. In this study, measurements of the Yanartaş Monastery Archangel Michael and
Gabriel Church, one of the 19th century Kayseri churches, was made with a terrestrial laser
scanning system for documentation studies and the advantages and disadvantages of this
measurement system were conveyed.
