Novigrad has a long tradition in tourism, but it was never the dominant economic sector. In the past Novigrad was a small fishing and farming town with a small traditional craft and agricultural and livestock hinterland which gravitated Novigrad. In particular, catering trade was developed, especially overseas trade. Thus, in the Middle Ages there were two Novigrad albergo - at that time probably lodges for traveling merchants.
Novigrad sea is abundant variety of shellfish (mussels, oysters, scallop), crustaceans (shrimps, lobsters), sea snails and a variety of fish. From small pilchard, sprat, sardine, anchovy, mackerel and the big bonito. In past Novigrad fishermen have been catching huge quantities of tuna, more than all the fishermen of northern Dalmatia.
Novigrad has many interesting monuments, of which these are worth seeing: The Church of Sv. Catherine from the 14th st. The church was built by count Butko Kurjakovic in 1393rd. The church was also a Franciscan monastery. The church and monastery were destroyed during the Cyprus War (1570-1573).
