The date of construction is 1602, made in a mixed style: Baroque and Gothic. The tower survived two serious earthquakes, but as a result he leaned a lot of one way, but in 1979 it was completely reconstructed and now it also looks like that at the time of construction.

Not big, but there is a large number of temples inside it. The most perhaps memorable, its appearance and history: Church of St. Luke . To get inside you can anyone, the church is valid. Its feature is that it has two altars: Catholic and Orthodox. The thing is that in Montenegro, about the same number of believers among Catholics and Orthodox, but despite this separation, people live in peace and harmony. And the church of Saint Luke is a vivid example. After a strong earthquake in 1979, only she secured and fully retained its former appearance, without reconstructions. Many believe that this is a sign with higher.

Of the interesting religious structures, you can still mention Saint Trifon Cathedral . He has a somewhat sad story. The cathedral suffered very much during a crushing earthquake in Montenegro in 1667. But since the holy trif is a patron of the city of Kotor, the cathedral was completely restored and consecrated again. You can see it within the old city, this is the main attraction of the kotor.
