Th…Saint Luke's Church is a historic dual-altar church in Kotor Old Town, notable for containing both a Catholic and an Orthodox altar within the same building. The church dates to 1195 and features a Romanesque exterior with stone walls and a simple bell structure. The interior retains its original proportions and includes frescoes, icons and altar furnishings from both traditions. The dual-altar arrangement reflects a period when both Christian communities shared the same place of worship over several centuries.

The church stands on Saint Luke's Square, a small paved area surrounded by residential buildings. It is accessible on foot through the pedestrian streets. Visiting hours may vary, and the church may be open primarily during daytime hours. Entry is typically free.

The Romanesque construction and dual-altar configuration make the church architecturally and historically distinct from other Old Town churches. The complex is part of the UNESCO-listed heritage zone and is within a short walk of the cathedral, main squares and other religious and civic landmarks.
