The miner’s republic

Travel through time and go back to 1921, 150 meters below ground, under 20 million tons of stone, where the light of day and time no longer exist. There is only darkness and the REVOLUTION! Please attend in person the problematic lives of the miners and the moving story of human strength and pride by participating in a miner’s working day and making a lunch break with them, sharing a modest meal…

The experience includes:

• Welcome drink
• Bus return trip from Labin to Raša
• Mining equipment and access to the mine situated 150 meters below ground
• Tour of the mine with a professional guide
• Video presentation of the 1921 miners’ strike
• Miners’ brunch with drinks
• Miners’ souvenir

Organized by: The Labin Art Express XXI Association

NOTE: Children under 12 and pensioners in poor health are not allowed to enter the mine. We also do not recommend entry to people who suffer from claustrophobia or respiratory and heart disease. The basic rules for touring the mine in Raša can be found on our website.

Labin

While it once was a medieval town three kilometres from the sea, today, Labin is a centre of galleries and artists who stay here and create throughout the year. Beautiful are loggia from the 16th century and the principal city gate, Saint Flora, on which is carved the Labin crest and Venetian lion, the symbol of the Venetian Republic.
