<p>Aug 2026, a scenic evening view of the Bay of Kotor and the St. Leopold Mandić church in the old town area of Herceg Novi, Montenegro. <br />

Initially a tiny 1680s church build by the Venetians in place of an earlier small Ottoman mosque, this Catholic church was rededicated in the 1970s to the locally born Catholic saint, St. Leopold (Bogdan) Mandić, Apostle of Christian Unity.</p>
