Stop At: Our Lady of the Rocks, Island in Boka Bay, Perast, Kotor Municipality 85336 Montenegro
Stop at the small island in the middle of the bay that is home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church. Legend has it the artificial island was created stone by stone from local fishermen who would lay stones upon a specific rock where shipwrecked crewmen saw her and decided to build a church in tribute.
Step inside the interior of this small, 15th century church to see a great marble altar holding an icon of Our Lady of the Rocks by famous Balkan painter Lovro Dobric. Adorning the walls are various Baroque paintings by well-known Kotor painter Tripo Kokolja, most notable among them being The Crowning of Mary, Mary's Death and Exaltation of the Holy Mother of God. Silver plaques with reliefs of Boka ships promised protection and help in troubles, and embroidery fashioned from the hair of a woman who lovingly crafted it while waiting for the return of her sailor husband is also on display.
