Katedrala Svetog Tripuna
The Cathedral of St. Tripun is one of the city's emblems. It is situated on the same-named plaza, immediately opposite to the Bishopric of Kotor, Drago Palace. It was constructed in 809 in the Romanesque style with characteristics of Byzantine architecture. Its appearance has evolved throughout the years, most notably because to many earthquakes, and it was rebuilt fast after each one. However, the church's exterior was repeatedly altered during the renovations, and nothing of the original cathedral remains. The European Union awarded it a certificate in 2008, along with the Europa Nostra organization, for the flawless rebuilding and seismic insurance of the oldest Romanesque cathedral on the eastern Adriatic coast.
