Description
The Church of St. Peter is situated on the Southern side of the old town of Kotor in the area of Šuranj. The Benedictine monastery was built between the 9th and the 11th century on a former Late Antique building. Judging by the remains, it could be concluded that the Church of St. Peter in Šuranj was a three-nave basilica, with a middle nave twice as wide as the lateral ones. The apse is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. The side naves end in the East with smaller apses of external and internal semicircular ground plan.
