Festung Dresden, Military fortress museum beneath Brühl's Terrace in Dresden, Germany
The fortress museum contains numerous dark vaulted corridors stretching 40 meters in length, featuring ancient cannon yards and defensive positions along the Elbe River.
From the 16th century until 1992, this fortification protected Dresden before being transformed into an underground museum displaying military artifacts and architectural elements.
The museum presents the Ziegeltor, Dresden's final remaining city gate, which includes a central vehicle passage and separate entrances for pedestrians from medieval times.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with admission prices of 12 euros for adults and 10 euros for students, including audio guides.
The facility houses a water level marker courtyard visible from Brühl's Terrace, displaying flood measurements from three different centuries of Dresden's history.
