Urania Cinema

Urania Cinema (Kino Urania) is a celebrated cinema located in an Art Nouveau building in the Gornji Grad district of Osijek, Croatia. The building was constructed in 1912 according to a design by the architect Viktor Axmann, who received a prestigious award at the Vienna Film Exhibition for this work. The building is distinguished by an unusual convex-concave facade with a wavy gable at the top, crowned by a relief. The concave form of the facade is accentuated by the convex projection of the first-floor balcony, beneath which lies the main entrance to the building. The building retained its original function as a cinema until recent times and is considered one of the most important achievements of Art Nouveau architecture in Croatia. It is a protected cultural asset, classified as a 'public building'. The cinema continues to operate as a venue for film screenings in Osijek.
