It is brimming with historic buildings including the 15th century Church of the Assumption which enjoys a wonderfully ornate stone rose window. The Church of St Margaret is next to the Benedictine Monastery, still home today to the Benedictine nuns who have played an important role in education and charity work on the island. The Rector’s Palace is now used for cultural events including the Pag Cultural Summer though was once the residence of the Venice appointed Duke.
