概要

クイックファクト: This massive fortress spans around 320,000 square meters, making it one of the largest in Europe. Its star-shaped design was perfected to defend against artillery attacks and includes underground tunnels stretching over 4 kilometers.

見どころ: Explore a vast underground network that once served as storage and shelter during wartime, revealing a maze of secret passages and massive vaults. Imagine the echo of footsteps in the enormous powder magazines, some of which can hold up to 5,000 pounds of gunpowder.
