Prcanj
was
mentioned in 13th century under the name of
Persano or Perzano and it is a homeland of famous Boka´s
warriors as well as skilfull seamen, who even in the 17th
century maintained the first postal traffic between Venice
and Carigrad. Presently Prcanj is a treasury of cultural
and historical monuments which cause the admiration of
their visitors by their architectural design and cultural
value. The Zupna Church particularly dominates among them. It
is dedicated to the birth of Virgin Maria on the slope
of Vrmica, and it is the largest one in Boka Kotorska. It
was built by narrow corusilian stone up on the project of
Venetian architect Bernardino Macarucci from 1779. Nowadays,
by the church there are busts of Njegos, Andrija Zmajevic,
Josip Juraj Strosmajer, Andrija Kacic-Miosic, Francisco Uccelini
and Jozo Djurovic, captain and the leader of the national
revival in Boka as well as famous seamen Ivo Visin who
sailed around the world. Besides the luxurious antiquity
Prcanj nowadays captivates by its attractive Mediterranean
ambience and gorgeous beaches.
