Cathedral of Saint Tryphon

Kotor

Romanesque cathedral built around a saint's relics, with a silver reliquary chapel and twin bell towers.

This guide to the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon in Kotor follows Andrea Saracenis, a local citizen who in the year eight hundred and nine set out, with his wife Maria, to buy the bones of an early Christian martyr. It weighs the competing tales of how those relics reached the bay, from a storm-bound ship to a Byzantine emperor's gift. Listen from the nave, where you can turn toward the back of the church.
