Grubla Fest 2026 - Exhibition: "Castellieri. Roots of Stone"

Description

The second edition of the "Festival dei Castellieri" will take place from 28th to 31st May 2026 as part of the "KAŠTellieri Project", co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia programme.

The area stretching from Kvarner through Istria, Čičarija, Brkini, continuing through the Karst region to the Veneto region encompasses a blend of shared natural features as well as a rich common history. This densely populated territory, as evidenced by the remarkable density of hillforts dating from the Bronze and Iron Ages (2nd to 1st millennium BC), known as "castellieri," "kašteljeri," "zidine," "gradine," and "kaštelirji," is interconnected by the almost forgotten cultural heritage of the region.
A comprehensive valorization, interpretation, and revival of this kind of heritage across the entire area where it appears can be achieved only with cross-border collaboration. 

On Friday 29th May 2026, the opening of the exhibition "Castellieri. Radici di pietra"  took place in the foyer of the Prešeren Theatre in Bagnoli della Rosandra.
The exhibition will be open from 31st May to 21st June 2026.
Opening hours: Saturday and Sunday 10.30am–12.30pm | Friday 6pm–9pm
