Today Perast presents the worldly distinction as an important protected UNESCO world heritage site.The former city of captains and seafarers and today’s recognized luxury tourist destination records life in the town for eight centuries. Its position with the view of the whole Bay, including its two islands 'Our Lady of the Rock' and 'St George', represents a top tourist attraction in Montenegro.

Our Lady of the Rocks

The Island Our Lady of the Rocks, was made as an artificial island, which according to the stories was made by the seaman from Perast and Kotor, who on their big sail boats brought big stones. On the island there is a church. According to a legend, fisherman from Perast, after a shipwreck near the island, have found a icon of the Holy Mother of God with the Christ on a sea rock, so as the customs say they vowed to build a church on the island. They have built the church in 1630. As the island had to be maintained, the seaman continued to bring the stones, so that tradition is alive even today. Dress code notice: Entry to Our Lady of the Rocks is not allowed in swimwear. Both men and women must wear appropriate clothing (covered shoulders and modest-length shorts, skirt, or dress).
