The old city of Kotor is 13 centuries old.The Kotorans are 30% Catholic and 70% Orthodox. There are 2 Orthodox and 6 Catholic churches in the old town. It is assumed that the first inhabitants of Kotor were Catholics, which is understandable, since the Romans were the first to settle the area of present-day Kotor. The Orthodox population came in 14th Century.
St. Klara’s Church is located near the Saint Ozana's Church, on the same longest north street in Kotor. Earlier, on the same place there was a Benedictine monastery built in 1362, and today it is the church of St. Klara, which was built in the seventeenth century. Within the church, there are 4 marble altars, which are the work of Venetian sculptor Francesco Pence Kabjanka, who came from Venetian Republic and spent some time in Kotor. The main fresco, surrounded by 33 white angels, is on the main altar.
Saint Paul's Church is located in the street behind St. Tripun's Cathedral. Small church, hidden from the main squares, tourists often don't even know about its existence. The church was built in 1236 and is the endowment of a citizen of Kotor named Pavle Bari. On the façade there is an inscription that testifies to its construction, which also mentions Serbian King Uros I, Pope Urban IV and Bishop Marko from Kotor.
