Znojmo Catacombs, Underground passage network in Znojmo, Czech Republic

The subterranean complex extends through 27 kilometers of tunnels and chambers, reaching depths of four levels beneath the medieval city center.

The construction of these underground passages began between the 14th and 15th centuries, with assistance from expert miners from Jihlava.

The network reflects medieval engineering capabilities, featuring an advanced water system that connected wells throughout the city for water storage and distribution.

Visitors can explore 1600 meters of the underground system through guided tours starting at Chicken Market from April to October.

The passages contain defensive mechanisms such as hidden trapdoors and angled slides that directed intruders into deep wells during medieval times.
