Verdun Citadel, Military citadel in Verdun, France
The Verdun Citadel encompasses 7 kilometers of underground tunnels with galleries, chambers, and passageways constructed beneath the main fortification structure.
The underground complex served as the French army headquarters during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, coordinating military operations throughout the conflict.
The citadel museum presents the daily experiences of World War I soldiers through augmented reality technology, following the story of a 1913 recruit.
The temperature in the underground galleries remains at 8 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring warm clothing regardless of season.
Visitors travel through the tunnels in automated cable cars while wearing digital headsets that display historical reconstructions of military life during 1916.
