Highlights
  • Island of Pag - Where Zadar is associated with the Sun, the island of Pag is associated with the Moon. The bare karst and white stone surface has led to this island has being called the
    lunar island. But this is just the most obvious visible characteristic of the island’s surface, upon which there are many things to discover. So amongst the heritage of Pag town you will find the church of the Assumption. It is located on the main square and is the most valuable monument of sacral architecture in Pag, built by Šibenik and Zadar masters in the 15th century. The Rector’s Palace from the 15th century also sits on the main square. The former Kamerlengo Fortress Tower houses the town’s administrative offices, and the hugely important Benedictine Monastery of Pag plays an important role in the preservation of the tradition of lace-making.
