Abstract
The church of St. Constantine, on the islet by the same name of Lake Apollonia, Bithynia, was published in 1979 by C. Mango, who dated the monument to the 9th or 10th century. It’s a cross in square church with “isolated corner bays”, a very rarely applied variant of this type. Recent survey has revealed new evidence on the building’s history according to which the church of Apollonia, apart from two conches along the longitudinal axis of the inscribed cross, also had conches at the ends of its transverse axis.
