Kotor Cathedral
The Kotor Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the Old Town of Kotor. It serves as the seat of the diocese for the Budva area and the Bay of Kotor, making it one of only two Roman Catholic cathedrals in Montenegro. Visitors go here to see its religious architecture and its role as a center of Catholicism in a predominantly Orthodox region.
Getting There
The cathedral is located within the pedestrianized Old Town. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk through the narrow stone streets. Depending on your starting point within the town walls, it typically takes less than 5 to 10 minutes to reach on foot.
Visit Duration
Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to explore the interior and the immediate surrounding square.
When to Visit
The site can get crowded during the peak summer tourist season and during major religious holidays. To avoid the largest crowds, visit during the early morning or late afternoon. The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn offer a quieter experience.
