Summary/Abstract: The article offers the results of an interdisciplinary study, in which an innovative astronomical and photogrammetrical approach is applied for the study of the Round Church of medieval Preslav. A well-grounded hypothesis is presented for the beginning of the construction, as well as the specification of the saint to whom the temple is dedicated. It is proposed that the day when the orientation of the temple was determined in relation to the directions of the world was September 26, CE 893. Respectively, the saint to whom the Round Church is dedicated is St. John the Apostle. The proposed method of dating the medieval construction of a church by applying photogrammetrical photography and building a digital altitude model and ortho-photo plan, combined with the conducting of archeo-astronomical simulations, could also be used in the research of other temples for which it is initially clear which saint they are dedicated to.
