What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Mithra Shrines Hajdina a fascinating historical site, particularly for its rare Mithras statue and the in-depth explanations provided by archaeologists during guided tours. However, the small size of the site and its location next to a pig farm, which can cause unpleasant odors, are noted drawbacks. Advance booking is essential for the guided experience.

"It was a very fascinating visit. You have to register at least a day in advance, and then you're let in by an archaeologist and given a very thorough explanation. Inside, you can see one of only two surviving statues of Mitras with the bull, here at the original site of this temple. The second is in the Louvre. Absolutely fascinating and highly recommended!"
