A unique island - Our Lady of the Rocks

Our Lady of the Rocks is one of the most recognisable and visited cultural and historical attractions in Montenegro, with a history dating back to the 15th century. According to legend, the island was created by sailors who over the centuries submerged stones and old ships at this site, gradually building a solid foundation on which a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary was erected.
