Kotor Catholic Cathedral, Montenegro


Here I'm back with the magical medieval town and UNESCO site of Kotor in Montenegro.  This shot is of Kotor Catholic Cathedral with the mountains in the background.  Montenegro is a mainly Orthodox country where many Catholic churches are said to have been (possibly forcibly) turned into Orthodox ones in the past.

Really liked this wooden engraving of a pre-Vatican II type Pope on the door of Kotor Catholic Cathedral:



I'm only a layman, but I guess that some real profound craftsmanship must've gone into carving this small Pope figure.
