Not as ornate as many cathedrals, but elegant with many interesting architectural details. There is a museum on the upper level with paintings, sculptures and religious articles dating back to the 11th century.

A lovely and historic building, regarded by many as the best of Kotor's many attractions. Nice museum there.

St. Tryphon's is known to be the most impressive sight in Kotor, and it lived up to its reputation for me. The old gray stone columns, the incredible altarpiece, and the labyrinth built into the floor all thrilled me. And then upstairs the cathedral has a museum of Medieval art and sculpture, including stonework that has been saved from the... More

This is a beautiful church with a nice museum upstairs, where you can also have good views from the city. Must see.

This is supposed to be older than Notre Dame by several decades, but the restoration makes it appear much newer. It is interesting but fairly plain inside, not spectacular. There are some very interesting artifacts in the upstairs museum. The cost to enter the church/museum was 2 euros. The view of the square below was lovely from the open balcony... More

This was my second most favorite church during a two week trip to Croatia and Montenegro. Wonderful old stone carvings and frescoes; great small museum.

Yes, the recent renovation has been well done and few things of the past have been highlighted. but the St. Tryphone Cathedral in the contest of such a great city as Kotor is, is a bit obscured. The museum has good pieces of sacred art and artifacts; from the terrace it is possible to have a look of Kotor from... More

Having recently been cleaned up, the cathedral now stands gleamingly white in the center of Kotor's old town. It's a must-see sight for Kotor: the largest cathedral in town, as well as the only one that's always open to visitors. There's a small entrance fee, but you're free to take photos once you're inside. Be sure to walk upstairs to... More
