| Kotor, Church of St. Peter in Šuranj | Place | 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. | ||
| Kotor, Church of St. Tryphon | Place | The Church of St. Tryphon and at the same time the Roman-Catholic Cathedral of Kotor is situated in the old town of Kotor. The first building was a martyrium (a central plan edifice) built in 809, financed by Andrea Saracenis, a famous citizen of Kotor, who bought the relics of St. Tryphon from Venetian merchants. This church is mentioned in the work "De Administrando Imperio (DAI)" of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (reigned 913-959). Remains of a pre-Romanesque building were found along the North-Eastern segment of the wall of today's Romanesque cathedral of St. Tryphon. Fragments of stone furniture, especially a ciborium, have remained and are dated to the 9th or 10th century. The second edifice was erected from 1124 (during the time of Bishop Ursac of Kotor) until 1166 (when all three church altars were consecrated). It was built in Romanesque style with elements from Byzantine architecture. Its appearance has changed over the centuries, most often due to frequent earthquakes. The cathedral was built as a three-nave basilica with a dome above the middle aisle of the main nave of the church, which was removed after two earthquakes during the 16th century. Each of the naves has an apse. The central apse is decorated with a sumptuous Gothic triforium. Two bell towers are on the Western façade. The interior was painted with frescoes in 1331. |
