Pag

 
The island of Pag has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. The history of the island involves the Liburnians who occupied the island in 1200 BC, the Romans who established a port here in the 1st Century, the Slavs in the 6th Century, and the Venetians in the 11th Century. One of the valued commodities on the island is the salt pans, which have historically been a source of conflict.
