updated 9 hours ago
The Slovenia Partisan Printing Shop was built in a secluded forest hidden above the Kanomljica River Valley on the Vojsko plateau in the Idrija Region. One of the best preserved monuments of the Second World War, this printing shop was built in 1944. In operation until 1 May 1945, nearly 50 persons worked in the printing shop. During its operation, a total of 313 various issues were printed on 1274 pages and in 1,394,000 copies. The Slovenia Partisan Printing Shop was one of the first monument sites, together with the Franja Partisan Hospital, that the Idrija Municipal Museum set out to preserve when it was established in 1953. Visitors had already begun visiting the printing shop right after WWII in 1947, because it was significant symbol of resistance in the national liberation struggle.
Film Theatre Idrija
updated 9 hours ago
The Film Theatre Idrija (Filmsko gledališče Idrija) is housed in a small-scale Baroque building in the old town centre of Idrija. It was built as a theatre house as early as 1770, and is considered to be the oldest such building in Slovenia. The construction of the Miners' Theatre House was financed from voluntary contributions by the mercury mine employees.
Due to reconstructions in the 20th century the interior no longer resembles the former Baroque theatre. The cinema hall is now run under the auspices of the Idrija City Library and Reading Room and is a member of Slovenia's Art Cinema Network. Along with a very diverse list of films screenings, the programme occasionally also includes theatre productions, lectures and music concerts.
