In 1774, the travel writer Alberto Fortis wrote on his way to Dalmatia about the products of the island of Pag, including sea salt, sage honey, wool and Pag cheese. Until the beginning of the 20th In the 19th century, the inhabitants of Pag had their own dry stone huts, where they milked the sheep and made Pag cheese. These stone houses are decorated with saws and reeds from the nearby fields. The huts were built outside the city on the rocky hills over the pastures. Most pastures are located in the hilly parts of the island and can be seen from the dry walls that surround them. From a distance, the intricate stone walls resemble the famous Pag peak (paška čipka) when crossing the rocky peaks. Historically, there was no private ownership of the pastures and the sheep grazed freely throughout the country.
