The house and workshop of the Ionașcu family

The mint operated until 1855 and has as its coat of arms a hammer and a pickaxe, crossed inside a cog wheel, surrounded by a wreath formed on one side of laurel leaves and on the other side of oak leaves. In the interwar period, the place where the mint used to be was called "bănarie", where the famous mill of Iacob Stoian operated. The realization of the Oravița Imperial Mint Museum is part of the large project of the Cultural Center "Teatrul Vechi Mihai Eminescu" to capture in locations throughout the city, through 17 museum sections that we will concretize in turn, the history of the city and the Caraş Country in relation to the history of Banat, Romania and Central Europe. It is the result of an initiative in which our specialized effort benefited from the direct support and full involvement of lawyer Dumitru Ursu, the mayor of Oravița, and is part of the project dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Old Theater in 2017.

The "Constantin Lucaci" museum is located in the center of Bocșa Montană and includes 17 stainless steel sculptures created by one of the greatest European sculptors, Constantin Lucaci. The sculptures-metaphors are part of the cycle of works "Space and light". None of the sculptures were named, as the sculptor intended to let the visitor capture for himself, through his own filter of thought, the essence of each sculpture. What is known is the fact that Mr. Constantin Lucaci tried to include, in his creation, light, being called "the master of light": “I have been obsessed in this life with the sculpting of light. But not light in the ordinary sense - the opposite of darkness, but light as an essence. The light that is the basis of the universe, because all the stars, all the stars are constructions of light. I sought to capture it and give it shape through metaphors." (Sgaverdia Dorina, 2008) The pieces are carved in either zig-zag, spatial curves or star shapes in harmonious proportions. Among these stainless steel metaphors of light, you will also have the privilege of seeing some of the sculptor's drawings, made in charcoal. The museum in Bocșa is the second "Constantin Lucaci" museum in the world, the first being opened in Italy, on April 14, 2007, in the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola, under the name "Racolta Constantin Lucaci". The museum in Italy contains a collection of 37 stainless steel sculptures, the collection being under the auspices of the Vatican.

Between the years 1737 and 1739, while this building was known as the "Baia Comuna", it suffered major destruction during the conflict with the Ottoman Empire, being partially rebuilt between the years 1758 and 1760, getting the name "Baia cea Mare". Its current form dates back to 1846, when it was rebuilt. Today, within the museum, we can find the pool once reserved for ladies, dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, in a space that encourages harmony and relaxation. For the gentlemen, two special pools were dedicated in honor of Apollo, the god of truth and healing, as well as Hercules, the hero known for his immeasurable strength. With 32 individual cabins, each named after royal personalities who chose to treat themselves here, it is important to mention that the Baths of Apollo are among the first baths built during the Roman expansion. source
