Summary/Abstract: Urban aspects and, especially, architectonics of a building are key factors to the dating of the octagon church in Mangoup and its identification. Based on the analysis compared to information of an epigraphic source the temple is believed to have been erected in 1427 and dedicated to St. Constantine and Elena as a castle church of the Feodoro rulers. This is supported by archaeological evidence.
