The Town of Pag - an Example of a 15th Century "Real Town"

Igor Fisković

Abstract

Recorded historically as Citta Nuova, the town of Pag on the homonymous island was established in 1443 by relocating Old Pag from the opposite side of a bay. The original geometric urban design within the town walls is still evident in the present town centre. The paper presents an analysis of Pag’s urban system and proposes a consideration of Pag as a ”real town” whose creation was influenced by economic strategies and cultural achievements in the 15th-century Eastern Adriatic.

Keywords
