Description
In a small town Roč known as the medieval center of Croatian Glagolitic literacy, you will learn something about the Roman lapidary and you will see the old medieval city center, the Great City Gate, the viewpoint and other attractive cultural sights.
You will unlock the doors of the old locked churches of St. Anton and St. Roch and see the well-known Glagolitic alphabet on the dedication cross from the 12th century and other medieval frescoes and Glagolitic graffiti from the 14th and 15th centuries.
(Additional/optional):
If you wish, you will visit the artist's studio, the Freska-Vidović atelier and learn about the medieval buon fresco painting technique. With a welcome aperitif, you will be able to draw a few strokes of a brush with natural pigment on the smoothed lime surface. The price per person is 2.00 euros.
If you wish, you will visit the Glagolitic Printing House of Juri Žakan, which houses a faithful replica of Gutenberg's Glagolitic printing press from the 15th century, and learn how books were printed in Glagolitic letters more than 500 years ago. The price per person is 2.00 euros.
After the picturesque town of Roč, we drive to the instructive Glagolitic Alleys, a unique memorial complex of eleven monuments dedicated to the Glagolitic script, erected along the road between Roč and Hum.
Arriving in the picturesque medieval Hum, you will enjoy its interesting things, customs and you will find out why it is called "the smallest town in the world" and "the city of Biska", where you can taste Biska/mistletoe brandy and visit the museum of Hum Aura.
