Stari Grad (Old Pag)
Stari grad
The medieval Old Town ruins south of Pag town, with the surviving Church of St. Mary and the remains of a Franciscan monastery.
Old Pag was the site of the town before the 15th century. After it was destroyed by fire during warfare in 1393, residents moved to the present site. All that remains of the old town is the Romanesque Church of St. Mary, the ruined walls of the monastery, and the foundations of the town walls. Around August 15 each year, a traditional procession takes place in which believers carry the statue back and forth between the old and new towns. It is about a 2 km walk along the bay from Pag's old town. Along the way you can look back at the salt pans and the old town, making it a good spot for an evening stroll.
