Roč Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi HR_s00va,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:


 

 

 

 

 

Utemeljen je kao ilirsko naselje, a prerastao je u rimski castrum; u srednjem vijeku preobrazio se u utvrđeni kaštel ograđen zidinama s obrambenim kulama te Velikim vratima i Malim vratima. Tijekom 15. i 16. stoljeća Roč je bio središte hrvatske pismenosti, nakladništva i tiskarstva temeljenih na najstarijem slavenskom pismu, glagoljici.

Nalazi se oko 10 km istočnije od Buzeta.
Roč je još jedan gradić na brdu opasan zidinama koji se spominje davne 1064. g.
Jedan od najvažnijih spomenika srednjeg vijeka je romanička crkvica Sv. Roka. Njena unutrašnjost oslikana je freskama u dva sloja, i to iz XIV. i XV. stoljeća.

U crkvi Sv. Antuna nalazi se na zidu ispisan glagoljski abecedarij, jedan od važnijih svjedoka glagoljaške pismenosti u Roču. Treća po redu crkva u Roču je župna crkva Sv. Bartola s orguljama.
Jedni od najvažnijih poznavatelja glagoljskog pisma, krajem XV. st. bili su Šimun Greblo i Juri žakan koji je na stranicama Misala kneza Novaka zapisao vijest o tiskanju prve hrvatske tiskane knjige (Misala po zakonu rimskoga dvora iz 1483. godine). U smislu očuvanja glagoljske baštine, u Roču se svake godine održava „Mala glagoljska akademija“ koju pohađaju učenici šestih razreda osnovnih škola iz cijele Hrvatske. Tu uče čitati i pisati glagoljicu, te se dublje upoznaju sa glagoljskom baštinom.

 Katedra Čakavskog sabora iz Roča je 2000. g. ostvarila značajan projekt i obogatila Roč replikom Gutenbergove glagoljske tiskarske preše. Autor projekta je prof. Frane Paro, a preša se može razgledati uz prethodnu najavu na broj tel. 00 385 (0) 91 567 9529 (Katedra Čakavskog sabora Roč).

Roč je i gradić glazbenog amaterizma. Ovdje se, u organizaciji KUD - a „Istarski željezničar“ Roč, svake godine u svibnju održava međunarodna manifestacija „Z armoniku v Roč“ koja okuplja svirače na dijatonskim harmonikama – triestinama.

 

 

 

 

 

Founded as an Illyirian settlement, it grew into a Roman castrum. In the Middle Ages, it transformed into a fortified castle, separated by walls and defensive towers and Small and Large Gate. During the 15th and the 16th century, Roč was the centre of Croatian literacy, editorship, and printing based on the oldest Slavic Glagolitic Alphabet.
Roč lies 10 km east of Buzet.
This hilltop town surrounded by defensive walls was mentioned as early as 1064.
One of the most important medieval monuments is the Romanesque church of St. Roch. The church interior is decorated with two layers of frescoes: from the 14th and 15th century.
On the wall of the church of St. Anthony is an inscription known as the Glagolitic Abecedarium, one of the most significant proofs of Glagolitic activity in Roč. The third church in Roč is the parish church of St. Bartholomew with its organ.
With the aim of preserving Glagolitic heritage the "Small Glagolitic Academy" is organized here every year where 6th grade pupils from all over Croatia participate. The Academy is a Glagolitic script workshop mainly intended for pupils who wish to learn more about this unique Croatian script and its heritage.
 In 2000 Čakavski sabor from Roč (association active in preserving cultural values of the Chakavian dialect) realized a very significant project, enriching Roč with the replica of Gutenberg's Glagolitic printing press. The author of the project is prof. Frane Paro, and the replica can be visited by appointment, tel. 00 385 (0) 91 567 9520 (Katedra Čakavskog sabora Roč).

Roč is also the town of music amateurs. Organized by the local cultural association "Istarski željezničar", every year in May Roč hosts the international festival "Z armoniku v Roč" which brings together players of diatonic accordions known as triestina.
An ideal place to end your sightseeing tour of Roč is Ročka konoba (Roč Tavern) where you can taste various local specialties.
