Underground in Jihlava, Medieval catacombs in Jihlava, Czech Republic

The underground tunnels of Jihlava form a network of 25 kilometers, creating one of the largest subterranean systems in the Czech Republic.

The construction of these underground passages began in the 13th century when residents expanded their cellars for storing goods during the economic growth period.

Local residents gather in December for traditional children's events in the illuminated corridors of the underground system, connecting generations through storytelling.

Visitors must wear closed shoes and join guided tours to access the underground system, which maintains a constant temperature throughout the year.

One corridor features walls that emit light due to luminescent paint containing wurtzite, applied during World War II.
