    The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon (Montenegrin, Serbian, Croatian: Katedrala Svetog


    Tripuna/ ) in Kotor is one of two Roman Catholic cathedrals in
    Montenegro. It is the seat of the Croatian Catholic Bishopric of Kotor which covers the entire gulf,
    currently led by Bishop Mons. Ilija Janjid.
    It is located in the city of Kotor, one of the best preserved and most beautiful medieval fortified
    towns in the Mediterranean. It was built in honor of Saint Tryphon (local name Sveti Tripun), the
    patron and protector of the city, on the same site where an older church had already existed long
    ago. That earlier church was built in 809 by Andrija (Andreaccio) Saracenis, a citizen of Kotor, where
    the remains of the Saint were kept after being brought from Constantinople (now also known as
    Istanbul).
