Montenegro - Perast
View of the attractive town of Perast, Montenegro. Venice owned the city between 1420 and 1797. Perast was part of the Venetian Albania. The citys sixteen Baroque palaces were mostly built in this period, too, as were its seventeen Catholic churches and two Orthodox churches. The old city does not have a defensive wall, but instead it has nine defensive towers, the most important of which is the tower of the Holy Cross. These were built by the navy of the Venetian Republic in the 15th and 16th centuries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the picturesque town of Perast in Montenegro, a place steeped in history and charm. Once owned by Venice from 1420 to 1797, Perast still bears the architectural influence of its Venetian past. The city's sixteen Baroque palaces, seventeen Catholic churches, and two Orthodox churches were mostly built during this period, creating a unique blend of styles that tell the story of its rich heritage.
Unlike many old cities with defensive walls, Perast boasts nine defensive towers that were constructed by the navy of the Venetian Republic in the 15th and 16th centuries. Among these towers stands the impressive tower of the Holy Cross, a symbol of strength and protection for this historic town.
The calm waters surrounding Perast reflect its beauty back at itself, creating a sense of stillness and tranquility that is truly captivating. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to when Venetian control reigned over this idyllic lakeside setting.
This print is not just a picture; it is a window into another world where history comes alive through architecture and nature intertwine to create something truly magical. Experience the allure of Montenegro's Perast through this image from Mary Evans Prints Online.
