History of Pag

The city of Pag was built in the period from 1443 to 1474. Because of the threat from the Turks, citizens of Pag came to the hinterland of Zadar and started to build a city. Since the ancient times and until the end of the 4th century Pag was the town, which was called Caska (Latin Kissa or Cissa). After an earthquake Caska was destroyed, so that is the reason why the citizens of Pag went to a different location. This place is called the Old Town today. In the 10th Century, the city was completely urbanized, they had ramparts, towers, squares, churches, monasteries, popular settlements and palaces. The city residents employed in trade, fish Fang, livestock farming, and they were also sailors and salt producers.

Former historical records show that the name of Pag was mentioned for the first time in the 10th Century. In the year 976 King Stjepan Drzislav freed Pag by the byzantine domination and appointed a Croatian. As the majority of the Mediterranean cities Pag also lived through its ups and downs trough the history. In 1192, the church of St. Maria was built, which still dominates in the area of the Old Town. One of the most important events in the history of the city of Pag is the preservation of the bull of the King Bela IV on 30th March in 1244, through which the City of Pag got the status of a free royal city. In Pag life is for centuries based on the Codex of the usual rights. The people strove for independence for which they fought with all the rights.
