Church of Saint Luke in Kotor, Eastern Orthodox church building in Kotor, Montenegro
The Church of Saint Luke features a central dome, thick walls, minimal windows, and paired arched windows above the western entrance door.
Built in 1195, the church contained both Catholic and Orthodox altars from 1657 to 1812, when it was transferred to Orthodox ownership.
The interior displays two painted iconostases: one from the 17th century in the main church and another from the 18th century in Saint Spiridon chapel.
Located in Saint Luke Square within the northeastern section of Kotor Old Town, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors.
The structure has remained undamaged through four major earthquakes that affected Kotor since 1563, making it the only church with this distinction.
