Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

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.
