View of the islets Sveti Đorđe (left) and Our Lady of the Rocks (right) off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. Sveti Đorđe (island of Saint George) is a natural island that hosts the Benedictine monastery of Saint George, from the 12th century, and the old graveyard for the old nobility from Perast and further from the whole Bay of Kotor. On the other side, Our Lady of the Rocks is an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks. The homonymous church, a Roman Catholic temple, dates from 1452.
