The intricate labyrinth of underground passages was created as part of the conversion of Vyšehrad into a fortress. The casemates are over a kilometer long and are divided into four separate sections. In addition to their military past, they also hide remarkable stories, interesting facts, and unexpected connections. Discover Gorlice with statues from Charles Bridge, air-raid shelters, and the forgotten Church of St. John the Baptist.
