Sixty years ago the first named author gave an example \cite{sch} of a circle passing through an arbitrary number of integral points. Now we shall prove: {\it The number N of integral points on the circle (x−a)2+(y−b)2=r2 with radius r=1n√m, where m,n∈Z, m,n>0, gcd(m,n2) squarefree and a,b∈Q does not exceed r(m)/4, where r(m) is the number of representations of m as the sum of two squares, unless n|2 and n⋅(a,b)∈Z2; then N≤r(m)}.
