Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela) is one of only two small islands in the Bay of Kotor, and the only one in the world built entirely by human hands. The small baroque church on the islet stands among the cargo of stones added over the centuries, with frescoes by the local 17th-century painter Tripo Kokolja covering the interior walls and ceiling.
The boat from Perast costs around €5 and takes ten minutes; allow 45 minutes on the island for the church and its small museum. The collection includes votive offerings from Boka sailors over five centuries — model ships, embroidered scarves, silver-gilt plaques — and a remarkable embroidered tapestry of religious scenes worked by Jacinta Kunić-Mijović over 25 years, using her own hair as part of the thread.
