Gorlice, Underground casemate complex in Vyšehrad, Prague, Czech Republic
The Gorlice Hall spans 290 square meters and reaches a height of 12 meters within the Vyšehrad fortification system of underground corridors.
Between 1656 and 1678, workers constructed this hall after modifying the St. Bernard bastion to serve as a military gathering point and supply storage.
The Gorlice Hall houses six original baroque statues transferred from Charles Bridge, including works by sculptors M. V. Jackl and J. B. Kohl.
The casemates and Gorlice Hall remain accessible through guided tours, with hourly visits from 10:00 to 17:00 and multilingual printed guides available.
Three local residents prevented the destruction of the entire fortress by removing fuses from 133 barrels of gunpowder placed by Prussian forces in 1744.
