Our Lady of the Rocks
Lying on a small islet in the Bay of Kotor with gorgeous mountains rising all around it, Our Lady of the Rocks really is set in a stunning spot. Legend has it that the artificial island was slowly formed over the centuries by seamen throwing rocks into the bay in thanks to the Madonna for their safe return.
While the church and its lovely location make for some wonderful photos, its interior is no less special. This is because the walls are covered with beautiful paintings by the 17th-century baroque artist Tripo Kokolja, with The Death of the Virgin being his most famous.
