Male Rose, Church of St. Mary Place The Benedictine Church of St. Mary is situated in Male Rose, at the Western end of the Luštica Peninsula in the Bay of Kotor. The letter of Pope Clement VI (1342-1352) from 1346 mentions the church under the name Santa Maria de Resson. The church is also mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V (reigned 1355-1371) to the people of Kotor dated to 1355, confirming the borders of the district of Kotor. It is a single nave edifice with an apse, which is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. Lesenes in the interior show that in at least one of its early medieval construction phases the church had a dissected interior with niches, girders and a barrel vault, showing similarities with the Church of St. Peter on the Island of Lopud. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the first building was erected initially in the Early Christian period, the second phase was in the 9th century and the third in the 11th century. According to the Latin inscription above the entrance to the church in the East, the church was refurbished in the year 1783. On the fragment of a stone cross the engraved name Petrus may refer to the donor of the church.
