The lace company organizes the home production of the famous lace of Pag. The antique Pagus was on the location of the deserted old town. The medieval settlement was given the status of the Free Royal Town by the King Bela IV in 1244, as the reward for help in fighting against the invasion of Tatars. In Stari Grad (the older part of the town), the parts of the medieval walls and the Romanesque-Gothic parish church from the 14th century are still visible. The building of present Pag began in 1443, with regular street layout and central square, probably according to the plan of Juraj Dalmatinac, to whom is also attributed the construction of the palace of the prince.
