What people say

"Construction of the church began in 1902, following the destruction of a previous 17th-century church that was consumed by a fire on Christmas Eve in 1896. Its grand architecture, marked by two impressive bell towers topped with black domes and gleaming gold crosses gifted from Russia, makes it an unmistakable feature of the Kotor skyline. The architectural vision behind the Church of Saint Nicholas was conceived by the renowned architectural engineer Ćiril Iveković, who has made significant contributions across the Adriatic coast, from Zadar to Kotor, designing various churches, rectories, and public buildings. Iveković was a prominent figure in the art and architecture scene, imparting his knowledge as a professor at Zagreb's Technical University until his death in 1933. Designed in a striking Byzantine style, the church is positioned behind the ancient city walls, symbolizing the enduring religious heritage of the region. Inside, visitors are greeted by a stunning iconostasis completed in 1908, alongside a vast collection of icons. Among these, the Icon of the Holy Mother of God Trojeručica holds particular significance and reverence. The church also houses numerous religious texts, artworks, and treasures generously donated by affluent families from Kotor, reflecting the community’s deep-rooted connection to its faith and history. Notably, the Church of Saint Nicholas is the only Orthodox church in Kotor where daily liturgies are held, serving as a spiritual hub for the local Orthodox community. Visitors can enter the church free of charge, making it accessible for everyone."
"St. Nicholas's Serbian Orthodox Church is worth a quick visit. It is quite beautiful with large paintings of important religious figures, but won't take you long to see it in its entirety. "
