During the research we revealed three periods of architectural and building activity activation in the Black Sea coastal area north territory of the North Caucasus and the Crimea. All these periods were connected with the Christianization waves. The first period, the Christian expansion beginning (the VI-IX cc.) is characterized by the Christian objecting role conceptualization development the landscape territorial organization, the mono-apsidal churches and certain types of temples building, mainly within fortresses built according to the classical rules of Vitruvius. In the second period (X-XII cc.) when the existing denominational centers influence was at its peak, the main principle was to follow the temple architecture tendencies of the Byzantine Empire, Armenia, Georgia, for the North Caucasus – Abkhazia. In this period depending from the influence area the basilicas, cross-domed churches, hall churches with pasto-phoria and an inscribed apsis, mono-apsidal churches of different types were built. In fortification architecture, on the contrary, there was a tendency towards regionalization. The feature of the third period (XIII-XV cc.) is the regional development and the Christian architecture ethnic variants on the population world views religious blending, the fortified settlements creation basis.
