The construction of Pag’s Benedictine Convent of St. Margaret began right after the new town of Pag was established, as a memorial to the former church and convent in the Old Town.
Andreja Boat Tours was established in 2012, and since then many satisfied guests have had the opportunity to explore the hidden beauties of Pag’s numerous coves, beaches and caves that can most often only be reached by sea. The boat can admit 12 passengers, and private excursions can be organized for smaller parties. At an average speed of 12 nm, most sites can be reached within 15 minutes.
A new bridge that connects the new town of Pag with Prosika replaced the early 20th century concrete bridge. The bridge is a somewhat altered replica of an old Venetian bridge built in 1737 based on the design by renowned Venetian architect Giambattista Lodoli.

Kamerlengo Tower no longer stands in its original form. The former tower today houses the town government, while during the summer months the Town Hall serves as an exhibition space for various artists.
