The Unbelievable Story Behind Montenegro's Floating Church on the Sea!
youtube
In the stunning Bay of Kotor, Montenegro, sits the enchanting Our Lady of the Rocks Church, perched on a tiny man-made islet. This unique site isn't just a picturesque stop on the Adriatic—it's steeped in legend and a testament to faith and perseverance. But what’s the story behind this floating marvel?
A Legend Born from the Sea
The tale begins in 1452 when two local fishermen found an icon of the Virgin Mary and Child on a rock in the bay. Believing it to be a divine sign, they vowed to build a church on that very spot. But there was no land—only the sea. Undeterred, the people of nearby Perast began an extraordinary project: they created an islet by sinking old ships filled with rocks and by piling stones into the bay. This practice, known as "fašinada," became an annual event, continuing to this day as locals add rocks to the islet to keep it from eroding.
Building a Church on Faith
The original church was completed in 1630, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rocks. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and adorned with intricate artwork, including a stunning collection of 68 votive tablets. Each piece of art inside the church tells stories of gratitude, hope, and survival, reflecting the deep connection between the locals and their faith.
Visiting Tips
Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon offers serene views and fewer crowds.
Getting There: Take a short boat ride from Perast to reach the islet.
Photography: Capture the church from the water for a breathtaking perspective.

Conclusion
Our Lady of the Rocks Church is not just a religious site; it’s a symbol of enduring faith and communal effort. This floating islet, born from the sea and maintained by centuries of tradition, offers a unique glimpse into Montenegro’s rich history and the deep devotion of its people.
