Founded in 1166 and extensively rebuilt after 17th-century earthquakes, this cathedral is among the Adriatic's finest Romanesque structures and contains notable altarpieces and a treasury of ecclesiastical objects.
Inside the walls there is less to look at than the photographs promise and more to sit in. Kotor was Venetian for close to four centuries and the stone says so, from the winged lion over the gates to the marble worn to a shine in the lanes. The Cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166, carries two mismatched bell towers, the legacy of the earthquake of 1667 and of the rebuilding that followed; the earthquake of 1979 put the town on the UNESCO list of World Heritage in Danger, where it stayed until 2003. The cats came off the ships that carried them for the rats, stayed, and are fed by the town now, and the Cats Museum, founded in 2013 by the Venetian collector Piero Pazzi, charges a euro at the door and puts it towards the strays.
