About this stone

This iconic landmark sits on a tiny man-made island just off the coast, a place steeped in maritime legend. According to local tradition, the island was built over centuries by sailors who laid rocks here after each successful voyage, gradually creating the foundation for the church that stands today. Inside, visitors encounter beautiful paintings, silver votive offerings, and a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the dramatic setting. The spot represents a unique blend of human devotion and natural beauty, making it one of the most recognizable destinations in the bay.
