Benedictine Convent of St. Margaret
Samostan sv. Margarite
A still-active nunnery in the north of the old town, housing antique lace and religious art; the nuns' hand-baked 'baškotin' biscuits are a Pag specialty.
St. Margaret's Convent is a Benedictine monastery in the north of Pag's old town, founded in the 15th century alongside the new town, and nuns still live there. A small religious art collection inside displays liturgical vessels, paintings and antique Pag lace. The nuns bake 'baškotin' (a twice-baked, crisp biscuit-like bread) according to a traditional recipe, and it is Pag's most famous souvenir, available to buy at the convent gate. Opening hours are irregular: they are more predictable in summer, so check ahead in other seasons. As a place of worship, the convent asks visitors to dress appropriately.
