Stara Novalja: Novalja - Alojzija Stepinca square
The landscape around Novalja is a low limestone island coast, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Set on Pag beside the Adriatic Sea, the town gathers white-walled houses, waterfront streets and cafés around its compact centre. Novalja’s older fabric reflects centuries of settlement on an island defined by dry stone, sheltered coves and seafaring connections. The parish church of St Catherine is an important landmark in the centre, while the Roman aqueduct known as Talijanova buža records the town’s ancient past. Cut through rock to carry water, it is among the most distinctive traces of Roman engineering on Pag. Novalja is also associated with the wider island’s sheep farming and renowned Pag cheese.

Stara Novalja has served as a coastal settlement on the island of Pag, off Croatia’s northern Adriatic coast, since antiquity. It occupies the sheltered Stara Novalja Bay, where clear sea meets Pag’s pale limestone terrain and low, windswept hills. This quieter side of the island is associated with small coves, boating and the traditional rhythms of fishing and olive growing. Across Pag, dry-stone walls record generations of work on a demanding, water-scarce landscape, while the island is widely known for its sheep’s cheese and salt-making heritage.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
