The importance of these monuments for the country and the world community is indicated, which was the reason for their choice as objects for research.
 Aim. The research is intended to contribute to the restoration of these masterpieces of world architecture, which have existed for a little less than two millennia.
 Materials and methods. A kind of certification of architectural monuments on the territory of Palmyra was carried out using the visual method of studying the state of objects. A detailed description and characteristics of the above-mentioned objects built as a synthesis of Greco-Roman and ancient Near Eastern architecture are given. The distinctive features and dimensions of building structures are described, plans, sections and photographs of objects before and after destruction are given for their subsequent reconstruction virtually in 3D. To improve the accuracy of three-dimensional models, various projects of 3D models of Palmyra’s architectural monuments, created by various scientists and organizations, were collected.
 Results. The states of the architectural monuments of Palmyra before and after the destruction were recorded, followed by their reconstruction in 3D for future restoration. 
 Conclusions. Conclusions are drawn about the expediency of restoring the architectural monuments of Palmyra, since they are of great importance for the entire world community, and many of them are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
