Ugljan Attractions

The island of Ugljan is one of the more populated islands in the Zadar Archipelago. Its close proximity to Zadar makes it an easy destination for locals to visit or even commute back and forth to work on the mainland. The island is green with farmland, gardens, and olive groves. The main town on Ugljan carries the same name as the island and is home to the Franciscan, St Jerome Monastery. The village of Preko is a newer, more upscale "suburb" with expensive villas owned mainly by Zadar residents. Also of interest on Ugljan is the Venetian St Michael fortress, perched on a hilltop. Ugljan is linked to the island of Pasman by a bridge.
