Beneath the city of Pula, Croatia, lies Zerostrasse, a network of tunnels carved from rough rock during World War I. These subterranean passages converge below the Kastel fortress, their walls lined with galleries and informational displays. Visitors can explore the chambers, which house artifacts and historical context about the tunnels’ creation and wartime use. The tactile experience of the rugged stone and the dimly lit, cool environment offers a tangible connection to the past, making it a compelling site for history enthusiasts.
