Pag Town
Pag
A stone town newly built in the 15th century on a Renaissance plan, with grid-patterned streets, a square with a church, and handmade lace.
Pag Old Town is the historic heart of the island. In the 15th century, the Dalmatian architect Juraj Dalmatinac planned it according to ideal city principles. The streets form a grid, and the main square is home to the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary and the Prince's Palace. In town, you can watch older women weaving Pag lace in front of their doors, and taste Pag cheese and lamb. To the south are salt pans and remnants of the city walls. It is about 25 km from Novalja, a 30-minute drive, and walking the town is enough to see the highlights.
