The Minorite Path / The Mythical Path / The Mini Path

The Maribor Puppet Theatre is located in the premises of the renovated Minorite Monastery from the 13th century. The complex, which is inhabited by the theatre and also covers the Minorite Church, is an important and interesting record of the history of Maribor. The Minorite Path leads you through the old corridors and basements, all the way to the restored church, while we present you the history of the monastery.

The Minorite Path is divided into three different guided tours, each dedicated to a different age group.  They are called: The Mini Path (3+, 5+), The Mythical Path (9+) and The Minorite Path (12+, 15+).
