Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. 21.6.2021 seems to be closed since long term-but all visibly from outside,free of charge,just without any explanation!Just take care of your steps as sheltering construction already is disassembling while Mithras-shrine still after 2000 years in good condition.. The temple of the god Miter is an old-age temple in Jajce. Starorimska is a Mithraist building. It lies beneath the old town from its southwestern side, and is west-east oriented. It is located in a wet area known as the Bare site about 200 m southwest of the medieval city on the left bank of the Pliva. His first researcher was Dimitrije Sergejevski. The oldest monument in Jajce, and among the oldest in BiH, comes from the IV. st. It is an old Indo-Iranian deity of the Sun and Light, whose cult from Asia Minor brought Roman soldiers. The monument was discovered in 1931 near the present hotel "Tuirst 98" and is well preserved. Leider sehr klein aber eine sehr gute Führung auf deutsch Nemusíte platiť vstupné, keďže je miesto pekne vidno z vonku kvôli skleneným stenám. Apparently made by the old Roman garrisons that were in this place, no doubt influenced by some Zoroastrian members of the old Persian legions, made out of one massive rock formation... Kościół pokoju. Warto odwiedzić dla ciekawej architektury i dla osób lubiących medytację i modlitwę. Zoroastrismen og Mitra, var nok sinkretisk tilstede gjennom mange hundre år i mellom og Midtøsten og i Europa var det ikke ofte å finne sånne steder. I Jajce det finns liten tempel men den er i fragmenter, ikledt glassvinduer og mot betaling 5 mark Well preserved, definitely worth checking out the view from the top as well It's interesting to see such old remains. However, the is absolutely no information or whatsoever about the history of the Temple. Regarding the size of the site and the information I found the entry fee of 5KM too much. This is absolutely crucial to visit. Mithras was the supreme God of Sun and this is very important and ancient sight ما عجبني CLOSED! Very bad, you come from another country and see LOCKED DOORS! Jedinstveno mjesto ali slabo predstavljeno i slabo objašnjeno. Lovely suprise, near the center. Small but awesome temple of Mithras from 2nd or 4th century. In the middle of some nice houses (would like to live there!) we parked outside the electrical shop on the corner and no one seemed to mind. Worth the walk in the heat beyond the Bear Tower. The entrance is supposedly 4km but the kiosk is not open and the young woman is there just to make sure vandals don't wreck it (as they did to Rome). It's properly looked after underneath a weatherproof shelter which obviously cost quite a lot of money, although the rubber window seals are falling out of the frames. The Mithraeum in Jajce is a fascinating glimpse into the religious life of Roman soldiers and officials stationed in the Balkans during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. It was a sanctuary dedicated to Mithras, a deity associated with light, truth, and victory, particularly popular among Roman military men. What Makes This Mithraeum Special? • It is one of the best-preserved Mithraic temples in Europe. • Unlike many other Mithraea, which were either destroyed or converted for other purposes, this one retains many of its original carvings and inscriptions. • The relief of Mithras slaying the bull (a key feature in Mithraic worship) can still be seen. • It provides evidence of how Mithraism spread throughout the Roman provinces, particularly in the Balkans. The Rituals and Significance • Mithraism was a mystery religion, meaning its rituals were secretive and only revealed to initiated members. • The temples were built underground or designed to resemble caves, symbolizing the cosmos and the spiritual rebirth of its followers. • Worshippers believed in a seven-stage initiation system, and only the most devoted reached the highest ranks. Connection to Jajce • Jajce itself was an important Roman settlement before becoming a medieval Bosnian capital. • The discovery of the Mithraeum here shows that Roman influence remained strong in the region. • Today, it stands as a protected archaeological site, offering insight into an ancient religion that nearly rivaled Christianity in popularity before fading in the 4th century AD. What to Look For When Visiting • The Mithraic relief, showing Mithras slaying the bull (Tauroctony), the sun and moon gods, and other symbolic figures. • The altar stones, where rituals and sacrifices likely took place. • The orientation of the temple, which was designed for secretive ceremonies held in dim lighting. Gledam hram sa terase svoje kuće. Another amazing historical place worth visiting in Jajce Quick stop for a picture but nothing else. Nowhere to park. Замечательно сохранившееся место древнего митриума.
