Abstract: The topic of this paper is the Holy Transfiguration church in the Preobrazhenski Monastery near to Veliko Tarnovo. It discusses the architecture and iconography, as well as the need to digitize the information of what has been preserved in this monument. The publication illustrates the benefits of digitization and in particular those developing a virtual 3D model of the temple. It shows a lot of examples demonstrating real improvements in the process of indepth research of the church concerning both fieldwork and the following analysis and summaries in order to reach satisfactory results. The digitization is viewed in the context of prevention of the church as part of our national heritage, positioned in the threat environment.
