The Church of St. Luke is one of Kotor's oldest surviving buildings, dating back to 1195. Its simple Romanesque exterior belies a fascinating history: originally Catholic, it later became a shared place of worship for both Catholics and Orthodox Christians, a rare example of interfaith harmony. Inside, visitors can see a mix of Catholic and Orthodox elements, including two altars and a collection of icons. The church's small size and ancient stone walls create an intimate, contemplative atmosphere. Its dual heritage makes it a unique symbol of Kotor's multicultural past.
Don't miss
- Observe the dual altars and the blend of Catholic and Orthodox iconography
- Examine the original 12th-century fresco fragments on the walls
- Find the stone relief of a knight on the exterior, a rare medieval carving
