| Kotor, Church of St. Mary (Collegiata) | Place | The Church of St. Mary Collegiata is located in the old town of Kotor on the Northern side. The first building was erected in the 6th century and was a three nave basilica with vaulted side naves, three semicircular apses on the Eastern side and a synthronon. The church fits typically into the Early Christian basilica architecture in the Eastern Adriatic. It was remodelled in the early 9th century. In the time of the Serbian King Stefan Radoslav (reigned 1228-1234) and the Bishop of Kotor in 1221, a new Romanesque single-nave church with an apse on the Eastern side and a dome over the middle aisle was built in the area of the middle nave of the original basilica. In the 14th century the building was fresco painted. Also fragments of plaster were found (both from the first and the second building phase). There are entrances (portals) on the Western and Southern side. On the lintel on the Southern entrance is an inscription in Latin. In 1434 the Chapel of St. John the Baptist was built on the Northern side of the church. A bell tower, situated on the North-Eastern side of the church, was erected in 1771, according to the Latin inscription placed on its Southern side. Relics of the local Saint Ozana are kept in the Church. | ||
| Kuti, Church of St. Thomas | Place | The Church of St. Thomas in Kuti near Herceg Novi was probably built in the last quarter of the 11th century. It is a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse in the East as well as with semicircular vaults and a dome, indicating a strong Byzantine influence. Fragments of fresco paintings and stone furnishings have been found. A remaining stone altar screen with two parapets indicates a new, Romanesque style. On the other hand, the fresco decoration (dated to the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century) with heads of Saints points to Byzantine artists, having similarities with the frescoes in the chapel and crypt of the katholikon of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas in Phokis and the Church of St. Nicholas on the island of Koločep. The Church of St. Thomas is in ruins with walls preserved up to a maximum height of ca. 2,5 m. | ||
| Prčanj, Church of St. Thomas | Place | The Church of St. Thomas is situated in the surrounding area of Prčanj. Today only its foundations remain. It could not be localised in situ in autumn 2021 due to the vegetation in the area. The church is a triconchos with a dome, built probably in the 9th century. Fragments of capitals and an altar screen have been found. Such a ground plan is preserved only in the Boka Kotorska in the Eastern Adriatic and was also implemented in the original church of St. Tryphon in Kotor. This form, however, is known in Carolingian architecture with the most prominent example in the oratory at Germigny-des-Prés, dated to the beginning of the 9th century, and in Early Christian as well as Early Medieval Armenian architecture. |
