Montenegro, a small yet strikingly diverse country, graces the Balkan Peninsula with its rugged mountains, medieval villages, and a slender strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline. Emerging as an independent nation in 2006, Montenegro's history is rich with influences from the Romans, Venetians, Ottomans, and Slavic nations, each leaving their mark on its culture and architecture.

<p>Perast, Montenegro<br />
<br />
Church of St. John the Baptist dates from at least 1595, maybe earlier. Its simple late Renaissance facade has a fine portal with a small rose window and a two bell gables above (which my photo cut off). Some renovation was undertaken in 1703. There are much larger and elaborate churches in the town but the simplicity of this building is striking. This is one of seven churches in this town of only 250 people!</p>

<p>A small town stretching along the Bay of Kotor, Perast has existed since at least the early 1300s. While never growing to a large size, it was a wealthy town with many Baroque homes and a few churches. Today the population is only about 250 but is very busy with tourists due to its location near the islands of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks.</p>
