by Caricatore Per la Mappa / 53 views
Murska Sobota Castle and its Renaissance concept go back to the 16th century. Among the outstanding Renaissance architectural elements are stone window frames and the stone arch of the northern portal. Together with its park, Murska Sobota Castle is an important centre of cultural and social events in the town. Since 1956, it has housed the Regional Pomurje Museum, Murska Sobota, featuring a permanent exhibition on the life of people on the Mura from the first settlement to the present (museum is not yet accessible for wheelchairs). The castle also houses the Youth Information and Culture Club (Mikk), which organises programmes of modern visual arts and music by young artists, selected concerts, and presentations in the club’s café. MIKK is accessible for wheelchair users via ramp, that is quite steep. They also have a disabled toilet. There is also a multi-purpose hall for minor stage performances and shows, events, and meetings. The hall has an induction loop for the hard of hearing. A special festival and tourist event are the Sobota Days at the end of June, when the town launches a very diverse programme of summer musical and stage events. This festival is accessible for wheelchairs.
