Saint Paul's Church

This guide to Saint Paul's Church in Kotor follows Jovana, a shepherd girl from the hills near Cetinje who came down to the town at fourteen and chose to live sealed inside a cell. It touches the Dominicans who gave her a new name, the earthquake that sent her to this church, and a summer in fifteen thirty-nine when an Ottoman fleet filled the bay. Best heard standing inside the church, among its bare stone walls.
