Abstract. The article is devoted to the interpretation of the medieval architectural complex of Mady Mairam (Mother of God), located in the mountainous region of North Ossetia-Alania. The forming base of the complex is a small nonapsidal temple and a nearby defensive tower. According to the legend, here until the end of the XVIII century the most venerable icon of the Virgin was preserved, later it became widely known as the Mozdok one. The conducted analysis allows us to assume the original monastic character of the complex under consideration.
