one of the most picturesque points in Maribor. There is a wine bar in the tower, with tables and chairs right on th river bank. The iron bridge nearby is one of the most interested in town as well.

Td-sempeter.si Almost 2,000 years ago, an immensely important Roman road was passing through Šempeter, connecting Roman towns Aquilea, Emona, Celeia Many powerful Roman patricians lived nearby and some were buried in the tombs of the Roman Necropolis in Šempeter. The discovery of the Necropolis happened quite coincidentally in 1952, when works in an orchard revealed a statue of a sitting woman. Few years after the excavation, the beautifully preserved archaeological site Roman Necropolis in Šempeter was opened. It is still seen as one of the most important remains from the Roman era in Slovenia and in Central Europe. The Roman Necropolis is an open-air museum in which works of art of most skilled Roman craftsmen are exhibited. After the Roman Necropolis had been discovered, more than 600 items were found and over 100 family tombs excavated. The most beautiful tombs are the large tombs made of Pohorje marble, ornamented with the high-relief statues of the buried families. The Spectatius family tomb is the largest and is covered with reliefs of four seasons. The Ennius family tomb is said to be the most beautiful and depicts the mythical scene of Europe’s abduction. Every tomb tells its own 2,000-year-old story, describing antique . Worth to visit

The castle is located on a hill where you can walk in minutes. The parking lots below are tidy and adequate. There are several paths to the castle that are differently demanding. But definitely everyone gets to the top! The castle offers a magnificent view of the whole valley and in good conditions you can see more than 30km away! Trails are regularly renew and they discover "new parts" of the demolished castle. If you wish, you can join the volunteers every Sunday morning for a rebuild!

In the Roman Empire Ptuj was an important, magnificent city (Poetovio) and a base camp. Soldiers from the east brought Mithraism, a Persian religion with mysterious rites that were only attended by men. Numerous monuments related to this cult are preserved in the 3rd century shrine of Mithras.
6. Villa Ruzicka

This is another cultural monument from Dobrna’s history that only gives us a vague idea of its past glory. Just a short walk from the centre of the town towards Hudicev graben you will see ruins on the right side of the road. They are now almost completely hidden by vegetation. The villa was built on the spot of the erstwhile Grobelnik farm by Count Aichelburg in the mid-19th century.
7. Early Christian Baptistery
Gubčeva ulica (Gubec Street) houses an early Christian baptistery with a baptismal pool, built at the turn of the 4th/5thcenturies that probably formed part of a larger church complex built in that part of the city.
