Pag

But this is just the most obvious visible characteristic of the island’s surface, upon which there are many things to discover. So amongst the heritage of Pag town you will find the church of the Assumption. It is located on the main square and is the most valuable monument of sacral architecture in Pag, built by Šibenik and Zadar masters in the 15th century. The Rector's Palace from the 15th century also sits on the main square. The former Kamerlengo Fortress Tower houses the town’s administrative offices, and the hugely important Benedictine Monastery of Pag plays an important role in the preservation of the tradition of lace-making. Also very distinctive of Pag are the various historical salt warehouse buildings. The Pag sundial is the most accurate device of its kind: It shows Central European Time calculated in line with the 15th meridian, which intersects the island of Pag. A type of mud that is used for successful treatment of rheumatic and various dermatological diseases can be found in the southwestern part of Pag town, in the area known as Lokunj. Hosts might recommend to active holiday enthusiasts, especially climbers, the route to Sveti Vid (Saint Vitus peak) which is the highest peak on the island at 348 metres.
