Religious Sites in Bay of Kotor

The Bay of Kotor contains a dense collection of Roman Catholic and Orthodox sites reflecting its complex maritime history. Notable landmarks include the 12th-century St. Tryphon Cathedral in Kotor and the man-made island of Our Lady of the Rocks near Perast. Many structures, such as the Church of Our Lady of Remedy, are perched on steep hillsides, while others, like the Church of St. Luke, historically served both faiths. These sites showcase a mix of Venetian Baroque and Byzantine architectural influences.
