Park skulptura Dubrova
The Dubrova Sculpture Park is located along the Pula–Rijeka main road, next to the Dubrova stancija (a country villa with outbuildings), inside which the Franković-Lazzarini Baroque Palace is situated.
It contains 68 sculptures, 16 sections of the White Road and two original works: Amphitheatre Dolac and the information centre. There are 16 more sculptures outside the Park.
It is a favourite place for locals and visitors of Labin to go for a walk, hang out with friends, for children to play or have an outdoor picnic.
One of the most beautiful Croatian sculpture parks offers unique moments of art and nature in an open gallery, covering an area of 33 hectares, partially surrounded by dry stone walls, with natural basins and rich and diverse Mediterranean flora.
The park was created artists’ work of artists through the Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium, a manifestation of international importance, during which an impressive collection of sculptures in Istrian stone is being supplemented since the 1970s. Stone, being one of the most durable materials and a ubiquitous element of the Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium, has become one of the symbols of Labin. Since the 1970s, almost a hundred recognized sculptors from all over the world participated in the symposium, leaving behind tangible results of their creative ideas.
It is recognizable by the largest oeuvre of outdoor works, the authors of which are the leading sculptors from Croatia, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, the USA, Japan, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, Great Britain, South Korea, Slovakia and Hungary, some of which are located in different places throughout Croatia: in Labin, Rabac, Pićan, Sv. Nedelja, Pazin, Zagreb, Vukovar, and Ilok.
Inside the park, you can walk along the White Road, a path consisting of 16 sections (each 25 meters long), designed by famous Croatian artists, such as Edo Murtić, Julije Knifer and Dušan Džamonja.
The Park also houses the "Dolac" amphitheatre, which was designed by the sculptor Josip Diminić, who, along with the painter Quintin Bassani, is one of the initiators of the mentioned cultural event. The amphitheatre is a place for artistic performances, concerts, theatre and various events for visitors.
Dubrova Sculpture Park is open to visitors throughout the year, 24 hours a day. Entrance is free. We offer guided tours for groups that are organized with prior notice.
Dubrova Sculpture Park is managed by the non-profit organization Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium. The park extends over the territory of the municipality of Sv. Nedelja and the City of Labin.
