Hüseyin Timur Tomb was analytically investigated on engineering perspective. Hüseyin Timur Tomb is
one of the important monument of Turkish architecture. It is also located within the Unesco cultural
heritage. The most stressed elements are the bottom walls at the ground level with a maximum value of
compressive stress of about 6.1 MPa. Also, displacement resultant distribution suggests that the
maximum displacement of around 13 mm will occur at top of dome. The goal of this study is to take
attention for special historical tomb in Ahlat that is open air museum. Evaluation of these structures was
important for cultural heritage and transferring them to future. It is very important to protect them by
taking measures from structural aspect. The paper also included seismicity of the region and properties
of Ahlat stone. Due to results it can be said that tomb has a high vulnerability.
