Our Lady of the Rocks (church)


Perast, Montenegro (ME)
In early 17th century there was only a small scrag here but locals started to build an artificial island around it from shipwrecks and rock. The first church was completed in 1630 and dedicated to the Intercession of Virgin Mary. It was enlarged to its size by 1725.
