Perast
Perast, Montenegro
Perast is a picturesque town located in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro, known for its well-preserved Baroque architecture and rich maritime history.
The town is situated a few kilometers northwest of Kotor and offers stunning views of the bay.
It is especially famous for its proximity to two small islands: St. George Island and Our Lady of the Rocks Island.
History of Perast
The history of Perast dates back to the Neolithic period, with archaeological evidence of early settlements in the area.
Over the centuries, the town was influenced by various cultures, including the Illyrians, Romans, and Venetians, all of whom left their mark on its cultural and architectural heritage.
During the Venetian period (1420–1797), Perast experienced its “golden age,” becoming an important center for maritime trade and defense.
The town was known for its skilled sailors, shipbuilding, and naval schools. Many Baroque-style buildings, churches, and fortifications were constructed during this era, defining Perast’s unique charm.
After the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797, Perast went through various rulers, including Austria, France (under Napoleon), and briefly Russia.
Under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Perast lost its strategic significance but remained an important cultural site.
Today, Perast is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most beautiful and historically rich towns on the Adriatic coast.

2. St. Nicholas Church (Crkva Svetog Nikole)
Features an impressive bell tower and houses a small museum with historical artifacts and religious items.
