The city was under the rule of the Venetian Republic from 1420 to 1797. Sixteen baroque palaces, 17 Catholic churches and two Orthodox churches were mostly built in this period. Perast is home to some of the most beautiful palaces along the Adriatic coast.

The unusual church of Our Lady of the rocks in the Byzantine style presents your eyes with beautiful works of art and tapestries. The original church was built in 1452 and was extensively renovated after a pirate attack in 1624.
The Island Gospa od Skrpjela, was made as an artificial island, which according to the stories was made by the seaman from Perast and Kotor, who on their big sail boats brought big stones. On the island there is a church. According to a legend, fisherman from Perast, after a shipwreck near the island, have found a icon of the Holy Mother of God with the Christ on a sea rock, so as the customs say they vowed to build a church on the island. They have built the church in 1630. As the island had to be maintained, the seaman continued to bring the stones, so that tradition is alive even today. The custom from the old times was recently renewed. Today it is called Fasinada from Perast and it is held at the end of the day on the 22nd of July.
Our Lady of the rock became the patroness of all Bokele sailors who would go on long journeys.
