The short information analyses notes of Jewish presence in Venetian Kotor in XVI. century, uknown up to now. Although we know the waves of Jews, expelled from Spain, were bound for Western Balkan (Ragusa) and further for Ottoman Empire, we had no proofs about their presence in Kotor and surroundings. However, the researches in the archives proved the assumption. We have gathered enough data, presenting them in this article. There were merchants transitors in Kotor; in one case, we have an example of festive conversion, in the local St. Triphon’s cathedral.
