History
In the mid-16th century, the village of St. Lovrijenac was renamed Lepetane, after the old Perast family Lepetan, which owned property in the area. Joanes Lepetan appointed Tripun Zagurija in 1504, son of the late Ilija, as his proxy in a dispute with his brother Nikola.
Today, Lepetane is home to the ferry crossing between the town and Kamenari, on the other side of the bay.
