Porto Montenegro and the Bay of Kotor

the manmade island and Our Lady of the Rocks

 This island is man made. The Perastians carted rocks into the bay until a foundation was laid. Eventually the Chapel was built in 1452. Each year they celebrate the Madonna and the Island by bringing more rocks.            

The men do the work
