Presentation of Starigrad

The municipality of Starigrad (1,893 inhabitants in 2001, 1,100 in the village of Starigrad) is located some 40 km north-east of Zadar, in the coastal region beneath the Velebit Mountains.
The Starigrad Paklenica National Park, with a monumental canyon entering the sea, is situated in the municipality, being its primary source of tourist income. Outside Starigrad are the remains of the Roman settlement of Vegium, badly damaged by bombing during the Homeland War in the 1990s.
