Perast lies beneath the hill of St. Elijah (873 meter), on a cape that separates the bay of Risan from the bay of Kotor (two smaller bays within the Boka Kotorska) and overlooks the Verige strait, the narrowest part of the Boka Kotorska.

Venice owned Perast between 1420 and 1797. Perast (called Perasto in the Venetian language, spoken officially there until the nineteenth century) was part of the Albania Veneta. The city’s sixteen Baroque palaces were mostly built in this period, too, as were its seventeen Catholic churches and two Orthodox churches. One of the biggest churches in Perast is the church of Sveti Nikola, which is located on the main square. It was built in 1691, and it impresses with its bell tower which is 55 meters tall and whose bells in 1713 were the biggest in Europe. The old city of Perast does not have a defensive wall, but instead it has nine defensive towers, the most important of which is the tower of the Holy Cross. These were built by the navy of the Venetian Republic in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Perast was at its peak in the 18th century under the Republic of Venice, when it had as many as four active shipyards, a fleet of around one hundred ships, and 1,643 residents. At that time the most beautiful buildings arose in this fortified town. Many ornate baroque palaces such as the Bujovic Palace, Zmajević Palace, Tripković Palace, Smekja Palace and magnificent dwelling-houses decorated the town of Perast, full of typical Venetian architecture. The people of Perast were excellent shipbuilders and fishermen and during conflict between Venice and Turkey they were the first line of defense for Kotor, which at that time was the second largest merchant port after Dubrovnik.
