The church was part of a Benedictine monastery complex and features stone construction with Romanesque elements. The interior includes carved stonework, altar furnishings and architectural fragments reflecting the early phases of Christian building in the town. The church has been damaged and repaired following earthquakes over the centuries. Its position within the Old Town places it among the network of religious buildings spanning Kotor's full architectural history.

The church is within the pedestrian streets and accessible on foot. Access to the interior may depend on current use and opening arrangements, as some older churches maintain limited hours. The church is significant for its age and connection to the early monastic presence in the town. Carved stone fragments provide evidence of construction techniques from the earliest centuries. The complex is part of the UNESCO-listed core and sits near other churches, palaces and civic structures within the compact walled quarter.
