Starigrad is the center of the Paklenica Riviera, which was built on the foundations of the ancient town of Argyruntum. Today it is a more and more well-known tourist destination with just over one thousand inhabitants who switched their traditional way of life on the slopes of Velebit with life by the sea half a century ago. Because of the proximity and accessibility of the mountains, especially the attractive canyon of Velika Paklenica, Starigrad is not only a pleasant resort but also a traditional gathering place for hikers and climbers, adventurers and scientists, and for all nature lovers who come to enjoy the beauties of Paklenica and Velebit.
