Pag - Pag info
Pag is the town and tourist center of the island Pag in the Zadar County in Croatia. It is the largest town of the island Pag and it has a population of more than 3,000 inhabitants. It is situated in a deep natural bay protected from strong winds in the central part of the island. The island of Pag is here rocky and barren because of strong winds that blow from the mighty Velebit mountain. All this is what gives it a special charm and magic. Often it is called moon island, because of the surface that provides an unusual landscape of bare rock with many different forms that only nature can create. Probably the most important event in the history of the town of Pag is getting a charter of King Bela IV which was donated to the town of Pag status of a free royal city. In honor of this event, March 30 is declared the day of the town of Pag and is celebrated to this day. The town has been historically a very important trading center until the mid-19th century, surrounded by large walls with towers. Today is visible only partial remains of walls and tower Skrivanat - the only one remaining of nine former towers.
