Two Islands near Perast, Montenegro
Two small islands near Perast, Montenegro: one is called St. George Island, and the other called Gospa od ekrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock), and each of them has a picturesque chapel. Gospa od ekrpjela is particularly interesting given that it is the only artificially built island in the Adriatic - built upon a rock (ekrpjel) after two Venetian sailors from Perast found a picture of the Virgin Mary on it in 1452
