Explored an Recently Abandoned Oil Refinery With a Fully Working Control Room - Pt. 1 | URBEX

Today we explored a gigantic oil refinery located in the middle of a mayor coastal city. Build in 1883 by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was the largest oil refinery plant in Europe, with a refining capacity of 60 000 t of oil a year. The territory surrounding the plant through its history was annexed by a total of seven countries, with the last one being Croatia, that closed the refinery in 2008 and transferred all operations to a new location. Today, the place is abandoned besides a few security buildings but as we later found out, some parts are still actively being used. Follow us inside to discover this industrial giant. #abandoned #urbex #oil #plant #controlroom
