The preservation of cultural heritage sites is a global priority, requiring innovative, non-invasive, and scalable methods for monitoring and analysis. Remote sensing technologies—ranging from satellite imagery and aerial photography to LiDAR and UAV-based photogrammetry—have emerged as essential tools in this domain. This paper explores the application of remote sensing in the detection, documentation, and condition assessment of cultural heritage sites. Through case studies and a structured methodology combining data acquisition, processing, and ground validation, the research demonstrates how remote sensing enables detailed structural analysis, environmental monitoring, and early risk detection.
