The Unique History of Pag

An island shaped by history

Pag’s history is deeply intertwined with salt production, a tradition dating back to the Roman era. In the Middle Ages, the island flourished under Venetian rule, which left its mark on Pag Town's architecture. Today, Pag’s cultural identity is celebrated through its lace-making heritage, listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
