Situlae Festival – Festival of Iron Age Life and Culinary Arts
Situlae Festival – Festival of Iron Age Life and Culinary Arts is held every year in June in Novo mesto under the auspices of the Dolenjska Museum. This unique event is dedicated to the stunning bronze situlae, which tell the story of the lives of the Hallstatt inhabitants of Novo mesto. These remarkable artefacts provide irrefutable evidence of the wealth and cultural parity of these ancient civilizations compared to other major cultures of continental and Mediterranean Europe.
The Situlae Festival is an event steeped in the cultural and natural heritage of Dolenjska, enriched by a fresh, urban perspective. Visitors can stroll through a prehistoric marketplace, sample the cuisine of the time, and watch demonstrations of ancient crafts and depictions of life at the princely court.
Join this journey through time at the Situlae Festival and experience the magic of ancient art brought to life!
