A Floating Legend of the Bay
Located in the stunning Bay of Kotor, Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela) is one of Montenegro’s most fascinating and unique landmarks. This artificial island near Perast is home to a beautiful Catholic church and museum, rich in history, legend, and art.
The Legend Behind the Island
According to local folklore, in 1452, two fishermen from Perast found an icon of the Virgin Mary on a small sea rock. Believing it to be a sign, the locals began a centuries-old tradition: after every successful voyage, sailors would lay stones at the site. Over time, this practice—called “fašinada”—helped form the artificial island we see today.
What to See on the Island
