7. Our Lady of the Rocks

   Our Lady of the Rocks is a unique artificial island located just off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor. According to local legend, sailors found an icon of the Virgin Mary on a rock in 1452 and, over centuries, began sinking stones and old ships at that very spot to create the island. Today, visitors arrive by short boat ride to admire the island’s history, art, and panoramic views of the bay — one of the most photographed and meaningful landmarks in Montenegro.
