Една фотография от първата половина на XX век и църквата в село Яна
A Photography from the First Half of the 20th Century and the Church in Yana Village

Summary/Abstract: The article looks at the medieval church in the village of Yana, first published in the 1950s by Nikola Mavrodinov in the book Old Bulgarian Art. The lack of information about this well known in the historiography and interesting monument intrigued me. Does such a church exist and where is it today? These questions led me to deepen my research. The text is an attempt to collect and present in full all the historical data and to clarify the location of the medieval temple. The archival materials and publications from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century contributed to determining the location of this monument, namely the village of Yana, located in Eastern Thrace, Bunarhisar region. It was renamed in the first half of the 20th century in Kaynardzha and today is located on the territory of the Republic of Turkey. Today only the base of the temple is preserved and the only evidence of the appearance of the church is the archival photograph.
