[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 622375, member: 2844"]I love Kotor. It is nicely sheltered by the bay, stunning landscape too. When we were there a charming elderly gentleman showed us around the cathedral. After every beautiful building detail and object he pointed out to us he said "but the most beautiful is the baldachino". He meant the transitional Romanesque/Gothic canopy with the stunning silver and gold altarpiece. He was right of course, but it has become one of those coined phrases in our family, to be said with a Montenegran accent with Italian flourish. I loved Montenegro and the Montenegrans, they have more of a Latin influence than the other Slavic peoples on the Adriatic.:) But the most beautiful is the baldachino;): [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Flive.staticflickr.com%2F8258%2F28781739394_c2ae464469_b.jpg&sp=b98e63b6d7db7eae11ca79cf22e57df0[/IMG][/QUOTE]
