    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

  • Day 1: Arrival to Base in Kotor
    DAY 1: ARRIVAL TO BASE IN KOTOR Check-in in Kotor. Sailing boats are based at the town marina in front of the old town. After strolling Kotor’s old town, you should have warmed up enough for a walk up to the Castle of San Giovanni or Castle of St John for an amazing view of the fjord and a fabulous birds-eye-view of the Old Town of Kotor, Montenegro. There is a lot to see in the old city and a lot to learn about the European History as Kotor played an important role in numerous empires and therefore has a rich and diversified heritage. The splendid city wall, narrow streets, tiny squares and the Mediterranean mood make Kotor one of the most memorable stopovers in the Adriatic Sea. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It encompasses the old town of Kotor (Italian Cattaro), the fortifications of Kotor, and the surrounding region of the inner Bay of Kotor. Montenegro boasts unspoiled beauty, an abundance of nature and clean, clear waters. Still a relatively undiscovered gem where eastern Europe meets west, the country's 295km coastline has countless uninhabited islands, secret coves and charming harbors alongside unique historical sites – reminders of the country’s grand past. 1 DAY 2: PERAST AND ISLETS ST.GEORGE AND OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS Sail to Perast for lunch It is situated northwest of Kotor (Kotor-Perast 6NM). Near Perast there are two islets: one is called Sveti Đorđe (St. George) and the other Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks), and each has a picturesque chapel.

  • To the Altar and Beyond Hidden Traces of Women’S Wedding Clothes in the Treasury of the Parish Church in Prčanj
    To the Altar and Beyond Hidden Traces of Women’s Wedding Clothes in the Treasury of the Parish Church in Prčanj Draginja Maskareli Museum of Applied Art, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: In Prčanj, a town in Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor) on the eastern Adriatic coast (in today’s Montenegro), a custom was recorded during the early modern period that women from the well-off maritime and merchant families offered their wedding clothes to the church to be refashioned as liturgical vestments. The article examines the custom in the context of the local dress history. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, under the rule of the Republic of Venice and with the formation of maritime municipalities, the citizens of Boka prospered and were able to keep up with the fashion trends of developed urban areas in the Mediterranean. Besides jewelry and accessories, seamen brought luxury textiles from their journeys, such as “brocades” used for wedding clothes and suitable for later liturgical re-use. Contents: Introduction / Marian Piety and Women in Early Modern Boka / Women’s Dress of Boka in the Early Modern Period / Women’s Wedding Clothes and Liturgical Vestments from Prčanj / Conclusion / References Introduction The article deals with a custom recorded in the small seaside town of Prčanj (Perzagno), where until the early nineteenth century, women from well-off merchant and seamen’s fami- lies donated their wedding clothes to the church as votive offerings to be turned into liturgical vestments. Prčanj is situated in Boka Kotorska (Bocche di Cattaro), or the Bay of Kotor, on the eastern Adriatic coast in today’s Montenegro (fig.
