Why pilgrims come
Discover the sacred objects and Catholic memory preserved here
The Catholic cathedral of Kotor, built over the church established after relics of St. Tryphon reached the city in the early ninth century. Its treasury and reliquary preserve the city's living devotion to the martyr; the cathedral is a current Catholic church, not merely a museum within a UNESCO old town.
Center Kotor on the living Catholic cathedral, its treasury, and the relic devotion that predates the present Romanesque building.
