PERAST

Perast (Montenegrin and Serbian Cyrillic: ераcт, pronounced [prast], Italian: Perasto) is an old town in Montenegro on the Bay of Kotor. It is located a few kilometers northwest of Kotor and is known for being close to the islets of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks.

Perast is located on a cape that separates the Bay of Risano from the Bay of Kotor and overlooks the Verige strait, the narrowest part of the Bay of Kotor. Perast has an average yearly temperature of 18.3°C and 240 sunny days (or around 2,500 sunny hours per year). Near Perast, there are two islets: Sveti ore (St. George) and Gospa od krpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks), each with a picturesque chapel. Gospa od krpjela is especially interesting because it is the Adriatic's only artificially built island, with an area of 3,030 m2 — it was built upon a rock (krpjel) after two Venetian sailors from Perast discovered a picture of the Virgin Mary on it in 1452.

OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS

Our Lady of the Rocks (Montenegrin: Gospa or krpjela, pronounced [spa d kpjla]) is one of two islets in Montenegro's Bay of Kotor (the other being Sveti Ore Island). It is a man-made island formed by a bulwark of rocks and the sinking of old and seized ships loaded with rocks. The largest structure on the islet is the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks (Italian: Chiesa della Madonna dello Scarpello), which also houses a museum. There is also a small gift shop near the church and a navigation light at the islet's western end.

According to legend, the islet was created over the centuries by local seamen who kept an ancient oath after discovering the icon of Madonna and Child on a rock in the sea on July 22, 1452. After each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. The islet gradually emerged from the sea over time. The custom of throwing rocks into the sea is still practiced today. Every year at the sunset of July 22, an event known as fainada in the local dialect occurs, in which local residents take their boats and throw rocks into the sea, thereby widening the surface of the island.

In 1452, the first known church was built on the islet. It was taken over by Roman Catholics, and the current Church of Our Lady of the Rocks was built in 1632. In 1722, it was upgraded. Tripo Kokolja, a famous 17th-century baroque artist from Perast, painted 68 paintings in the church. The Death of the Virgin, a ten-meter-long painting, is his most important work. There are also paintings by Italian artists and an icon of Our Lady of the Rocks by Lovro Dobrievi of Kotor (circa 1452). The church also houses a collection of silver votive tablets and a famous votive tapestry embroidered by Perast's Jacinta Kuni-Mijovi. It took her 25 years to complete it while waiting for her darling to return from a long journey, and she eventually went blind. She used gold and silver threads, but what makes this tapestry so famous is that she embroidered her own hair in it.

MAMULA ISLAND

Mamula (also known as Lastavica) is an uninhabited Adriatic Sea islet in the municipality of Herceg Novi in southwestern Montenegro. Mamula is situated at the entrance to the Boka Kotorska bay, between the Prevlaka and Lutica peninsulas. This small islet is circular in shape and has a diameter of 200m. Herceg Novi is 3.4 nautical miles (6.3 kilometers) away.

The island was known as Rondina during the reign of the Venetian Republic. The fort on the island was built in 1853 by Austro-Hungarian general Lazar Mamula. The fort takes up roughly 90% of the island's surface area. Fort Mamula was part of the Austro-Hungarian Army's contingency plans for preventing enemy entry into Boka Kotorska, along with fortifications on Prevlaka's Cape Otro and Arza fortifications on Lutica's Cape Miriite, both of which were erected at the same time on the suggestion of general Lazar Mamula.

During World War II, the fascist forces of Benito Mussolini's Kingdom of Italy turned the Mamula fort into a concentration camp beginning on May 30, 1942. Torture and cruelty to prisoners were commonplace at the concentration camp. The majority of the camp's inmates were from the surrounding area. Redevelopment of a luxury resort.

Over the objections of those who had been imprisoned on the island, the Montenegrin government approved a plan in early January 2016 to convert the site of this former concentration camp into a luxury beach resort by Switzerland-based Orascom Development Holding AG under a 49-year lease deal. Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali had previously written to the Montenegrin Parliament, surprised that the "only solution for preserving and using the fort is a mere business arrangement and privatization agreement."

Campo Mamula, a 1959 Yugoslav film directed by Velimir Stojanovi and starring Ljuba Tadi, Pavle Vuisi, and Dragan Lakovi, was produced by Avala Film and depicts and dramatizes World War II events on the island that was converted into a concentration camp during this period. In autumn 2013, a Serbian film Mamula was announced. Later retitled” Nymph” and” Killer Mermaid” for overseas release, it was shot on location and incorporates the island’s history, featuring an ex-German soldier living on the island killing people to feed to a mermaid.
