Description

The Church of St. Elijah is situated in Dobrota in the Boka Kotorska. It is located within the Kotor Institute of Marine Biology (Institut za biologiju mora Kotor), the former Radoničić Palace, on the Plagenti Peninsula. It is a single nave vaulted edifice with three bays and a semicircular apse. On the West side, above a simply profiled flat architrave beam, there is a blind arch supported by consoles. In the interior, in the altar zone, traces of fresco paintings are preserved. The church was probably built in the 10th or the 11th century, while some written accounts state that it was built in the 15th century (around 1430).
