Pag is a planned Renaissance town built in the 15th century on the shore of Pag Bay. A regular grid of stone streets runs between the main square, the Rector's Palace, churches, and the remains of the town fortifications. The town is known for Pag lace, traditional salt production, and local specialties made from sheep's milk and meat. Behind the town center stretch salt pans, beaches, and the bare stone landscapes that make the island instantly recognizable.

About a kilometer south of the present-day town lie the remains of medieval Stari Pag, the first settlement on the island of Pag, abandoned in the 15th century when the population relocated to a new, planned town. Preserved from the former settlement are house foundations, the ruins of a Franciscan monastery, and the Romanesque Church of St. Mary, which still stands amid the rocky terrain. The site is quiet and somewhat forgotten, yet it reveals the roots of Pag before Juraj Dalmatinac designed the current town center.
The Duke's Palace is located on the main square of Pag and is one of the representative buildings of the planned 15th-century town. Its stone facade, portal, and position alongside the most important civic institutions bear witness to the palace's former administrative role during the Venetian period.
Pag lace, needle-woven from cotton thread using a technique passed down from generation to generation, was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2009. The museum in the city center displays the history of its production, the tools used, and examples of lace from various eras.
