St. Nikola Church

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia

Get the right angles & this Church becomes the Iconic Kotor Old Town image ... especially with the mountains, the incredible Wall fortifications & Our Lady Of Remedy Chapel sitting like a bird in the distance. The gold shines quite majestically in the sun & presents an aura that I'm sure was not coincidental.

Church of St. Luke

Reviewed By sheffieldeats - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Interesting history of how the Orthodox and Roman Catholic congregations shared this church for generations- modern society has much to learn. Ancient frescoes have survived just inside on the right. Seek it out and observe the stillness.

St. Tryphon Cathedral

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia

This Cathedral is hard to miss as any walk around the Old Town will inevitably take you to St Tryphon Square & this building. Although suffering damage in earthquakes - hence the spires are not identical - it has been rebuilt in the original Romanesque style of 1166 when it was consecrated. Interior has magnificent frescoes & of course plenty of gilt religious artifacts. On the mountain side of St John, built into the fortifications, is a chapel "Our Lady of Remedy" ... how easy it is to visit I can't personally tell you! The word is 'tough'.
