About

The underground fortress has a very nice atmosphere, and some exhibitions about its history, including maps of the city before, during and after the time when it was in use. Besides that, being underground, the place is a great escape from the summer warmth on the streets.

Know Before You Go

The place is underground and not super easy to find. There are escalators to get there and some gates open to the streets.
