I won\u2019t bore you with a six-page historical account copied from Wikipedia\u2014you can read that yourself if you’re interested. Instead, here are the key historical highlights you need to know about Perast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The first settlements in the area date back to the pre-Roman era, established by the Illyrians.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Over the centuries, Perast has changed hands dozens of times, being ruled by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians, and later becoming part of Yugoslavia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Perast flourished the most in the 15th century under Venetian rule, which is why its architecture still exudes a strong medieval Venetian charm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Good to know:<\/p>\nDespite its prime location and 2,500-year history, Perast never grew into a major city. The reason? The nearby town of Kotor, just 13 km away, was historically a powerful fortress and trade center, overshadowing Perast and limiting its development.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Quick Facts About Perast:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

- Officially founded in the 3rd century AD, but settlements existed as early as the 5th century BC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
