EDITORS COMMENTS
Montenegro's Gospa od Skrpjela, or Our Lady of the Rocks, is a historic Baroque church nestled on one of two man-made islets in the stunning Bay of Kotor. The church, perched atop a rocky outcropping, overlooks the picturesque town of Perast and the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. Constructed between 1632 and 1667, the church is a testament to the rich history and devotion of the Montenegrin people. According to legend, the islet was formed when local seafarers discovered an icon of the Virgin Mary on a rock in the sea in 1452. Over the centuries, fishermen and sailors added stones to the site, gradually creating the islet on which the church now stands. The church's intricate Baroque facade, with its ornate details and vibrant colors, is a feast for the eyes. The dome, adorned with gold leaf and intricate frescoes, towers above the bay, drawing the eye and inspiring awe. The interior of the church is equally breathtaking, with ornate altars, intricate carvings, and stunning frescoes that tell the story of the Virgin Mary and her role in Montenegrin history. The Bay of Kotor, with its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and charming towns, is a popular destination for travelers from around the world. A visit to Montenegro's Gospa od Skrpjela is a must-see experience for anyone seeking to explore the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of this stunning region. This photograph, taken in 1935, captures the timeless beauty and serenity of Montenegro's Gospa od Skrpjela. The calm waters of the bay reflect the vibrant colors of the church, while the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The image is a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of Montenegro's natural wonders.
