Church of St. PAUL

The Church of St. Paul in Kotor represents one of the most significant religious and cultural sites in Montenegro, with its rich history dating back to the 12th century. Built in 1263 by a Kotor resident named Paul Barija and his wife Dobra, it was originally a Benedictine monastery. After the earthquake that struck Kotor in the 15th century, it was reconstructed and renovated in the Gothic- Romanesque style and converted into a Dominican monastery, characterized by its impressive appearance featuring a tall bell tower, arched window openings, and carved details.

The altar of the Church of St. Paul dominates the interior space, adorned with frescoes dating back to the 15th century. The cell where the patroness of the city of Kotor, Blessed Ozana, lived for 44 years is located in this church.

Over the centuries, the church changed its purpose several times, serving as a warehouse, barracks, and prison. Today, it has been adapted into a unique exhibition space where the collection of stone monuments from the city's Lapidarium is preserved.

As part of this restoration project, our company successfully carried out works on interior design and exterior landscaping.
