The Enchantment of Our Lady of the Rocks
What is the Lady of the Rocks?
In Kotor Bay, close to Perast, lies an artificial island called Our Lady of the Rocks. The island is said to have been founded by local sailors who were fishing one day and saw the painting of the Virgin Mary and Jesus on one of the rocks sticking out of the water. Amazed by it, they brought it to Perast and, along with the townspeople of Perast, decided to build an artificial island we today know as Our Lady of the Rocks.
