• Roman Aqueduct

In Novalja is worth to be visited the antic underground aqueduct,
built at the beginning of the first century A.D. during the Roman period. This is the reason why the aqueduct has received the nickname of "Italian hole". The aqueduct is provided with 9 draught holes ( odihe ), the highest of which is situated at 44 m. It served for supplying with drinkable water the former towns and workshops, the ships sailing along the routes of the ancient world. With the end of the antic world the aqueduct lost its function and remained unknown till XIX century, when it was discovered. At the beginning of XX century, for three short periods, the aqueduct was in function again.  
  Today it is a tourist attraction and can be   visited in 150 m length; nevertheless, the   town authority works on its revitalization
  for being accessible in a greater length.The   entrance is at Zvonimirova Street in front of   the Town Hall, where the Ethnographic Museum is been building.



Pag Triangle

In spring 1999 in the hinterland of Novalja an interesting phenomenon has been discovered, that is a triangle-formed trace on a rocky ground, called Pag triangle. The place of Pag Triangle is situated approx. 1,5 km south-east of Novalja - Žigljen ferry port road (the cross road for Pag Triangle is marked).This natural phenomenon attracts a great number of curious persons and tourists, journalists and experts, who try to explain from their point of view.During July and August (mainly from 20th July to 30th August) weekly tours to Pag Triangle under the expert guide of Mr. Stjepan Zvonarić, who wrote some books about this phenomenon, are organized. In same period an exposition about Pag Triangle can be visited. The Pag Triangles should becomes the center of the future UFO Park and in such a way this place should receive
ad additional significance.
