Gentle waves lapped against the seawall. Tethered boats bobbed along the waterfront. Perast has 15 Catholic churches for a community of only 350 people. Two of them have impressive bell towers. On the left is the slender, octagonal belfry of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary built in 1687. Three years later, the bell tower of St. Nicholas Church was completed. Both were designed by Andrija Zmajcvic.
