Starigrad[a] is a municipality in the Zadar County in Croatia.
History
The Roman settlement of Argyruntum was on a 3.4-acre (14,000 m2), now silted, island in the area east of the port. Emperor Tiberius erected protective walls and towers. Findings from about four hundred tombs are an evidence of great prosperity and trade relations in the Mediterranean. The oldest relic in the vicinity of Starigrad is the St. George Chapel in Rovanjska and St. Peter's Chapel in Starigrad from the ninth or tenth century.[4] Many mediaeval ruins are present in the area, such as the Večka tower, which was the mediaeval Harbormasters' office, located on a peninsula east of Starigrad, and the fortress of Paklarić, which stands on the site of an ancient fort, on the eastern side of the entrance to the Velika Paklenica canyon.
