Perast, Coastal settlement in Kotor Municipality, Montenegro
The seaside town of Perast extends along the Bay of Kotor with numerous churches and palaces displaying Venetian architectural elements from past centuries.
During the Venetian Republic period between the 16th and 17th centuries, Perast developed into a significant maritime center with established defense structures.
The town maintains two notable islets: Saint George with its Benedictine monastery and Our Lady of the Rocks with a church built on artificial ground.
Visitors can explore the waterfront promenade, join boat excursions to nearby islands, and discover local restaurants specializing in Mediterranean seafood dishes.
The Perast Maritime Museum houses an extensive collection of naval artifacts, documents, and weapons that showcase the town's seafaring past.
