Rožanec Mithraeum

That the atmosphere of Bela Krajina is light and good, was already known by the Ancient Romans who spread the Mithraic mysteries only to special spots. Feel the connection with the eons of history by the mysterious altar in Rožanec, in the centre of the forest, the hallowed ground dedicated to the Persian god of light. He was born on the winter solstice and set the sun ablaze. The relief shows Mithras is killing the bull and changing the universe. During the time of the formation of Mithraism, exactly 2000 years had passed since the spring equinox occurred in the sign of Taurus.
