Theresienstadt Small Fortress
Theresienstadt Small Fortress, Military fortification and prison complex in Terezín, Czech Republic
The Small Fortress contains multiple courtyards, prison cells, solitary confinement areas, and execution grounds connected by a network of tunnels and walls.
The fortress, constructed between 1780 and 1790 under Emperor Joseph II, served as a strategic defense point against Prussian military advances into the Austrian Empire.
The memorial site presents exhibitions of prison art, personal artifacts, and documents that detail the experiences of political prisoners and Jewish inmates.
Guided tours through the fortress operate daily from April through October, with reduced winter schedules and audio guides available in eight languages.
The fortress includes underground passages that military forces used for storage and strategic movement, featuring an advanced drainage system from the 18th century.
