Pag
Town is the largest town on Pag Island
and is within easy reach of Zadar. It
was established in the 15th century and the narrow, stone streets
retain a distinctly medieval flavor.Here, gray-haired ladies sit on
stools working the delicate Pag lace that is the
island's trademark.
Laid out accoring to the plans of the great builder Juraj
Dalmatinac, there are a fair number of houses dating from
the 16th and 17th centuries. The most notable monument is the 15th-century
parish church which harmonizes Romanesque, Gothic
and early Renaissance styles. Noice also the Ducal Palace,
the remaining parts of the city walls and towers,
and the Lace Museum which displays incredible examples
of Pag's famous lace. Just outside the centre are large salt
works which have been a staple of Pag's economy for ages.
All along Pag bay are picturesque little
coves with beaches and there's a sparkling gravel beach just outside
town.The shallow drop-off makes the beach very kid-friendly.
