Meridian 15 East
At the end of the 19th century Pag had one of the first sundials in Europe. The marble marker of the 15th meridian stands about five kilometres from town, on a macadam road near St. Mary Magdalene.
Island Pag
Attractions
Festivals, curiosities and nature that make Pag unlike any other island.
Družina Ethno Gallery
Pag shirts with Pag lace, traditional women's and men's costumes, antique furniture and photographs of island life in the past.
Pag Triangle
An isosceles-triangle imprint in the rock near Novalja. Most likely shaped by the bora, though some prefer more mystical — even extraterrestrial — explanations.
PagArtFestival
An island festival of classical music bringing leading performers to Pag each summer. Villa Padre is a proud sponsor.
Pag Carnival
The winter carnival runs from the first Saturday after Epiphany until Ash Wednesday. The summer carnival takes place on the last weekend of July — join the famous Pag circle dance.
Dry Stone Walls
About a thousand kilometres of stacked stone walls make Pag one of the richest such landscapes in Croatia. Farmers built them high enough to keep sheep in and strong enough to stand against the bora.
Lokunja Medicinal Mud
In the centre of town, a natural spa rich in sedimentary mud, traditionally used for rheumatic and skin conditions and to detoxify and tone the skin.
Velo Blato Ornithological Reserve
A wetland in the south of the island, home to over 160 species of marsh birds. An observation tower at its edge is made for watching and photographing birds.

Villa Padre sits in the old town, next to the church of St. George — the best base for exploring the island.
