Saint Nicholas’ Church — Attraction in Kotor

Yep. I do not like this church. Although there is no entrance fee here, the biggest problem I see is they put the souvenir shop inside the church! Whatda?

Given the people who just entered were white and myself and my partner are not (we are black and Asian) I think there might be racial prejudice in play.

Tldr if you want to visit - visit during the day or else you may be denied entry very rudely and...
