An important tourist city in Romania hides a lot of exciting happenings, including secret tunnels. It is visited by tens of thousands of tourists, but not all of them know what is actually under this locality.

The mysteries of an important tourist city in Romania

It’s about the city of Brașov, where several secret grottoes and tunnels were dug during the Second World War. They would connect to several key points in the city. There are rumors that through each tunnel you can reach one of the towers of Brașov.

They were built to defend the city, and are now considered a real mystery. Several legends arose around them. During the war, people used to come here, being considered safe shelters during bombings.

Such entrances can be seen in several areas of Brașov. However, many are closed. Over time, similar entrances were discovered on Mihai Viteazul, Cuza Vodă, Nucului streets, but also in the yard of the Music High School.

Tourists can visit the catacombs located in the După Ziduri area

Another tunnel was found with the demolition of a house, on Lanurilor street. The discovery was made in 2008. Moreover, in September 2020, the catacombs located around the White Tower were opened, becoming tourist attractions.

They are located in the După Ziduri area, and tourists can visit them both during the week and at the weekend. Groups of no more than 15 people are allowed in the tunnels located on this street. In fact, the authorities considered opening a museum a few years ago. However, the idea has not been put into practice so far.

After the fall of communism, there was a rumor that three tunnels could be reached from the Black Church. Another legend says that during the Second World War, a tunnel connecting the Council House with a cave would have served as a place where German soldiers were held captive.

Historians cannot say exactly how true this information is. “There are many such spaces that are under the administration of the Civil Defense. Some information is still classified.

I can confirm that there was another case, in which a tunnel was discovered in the 1930s, when works were carried out at the Kertsch Villa (built in 1887) on Portăţii street (today’s Republicii street), in the place where it is now Modarom”Nicolae Pepene, director of the History Museum in Brașov, said a few years ago, according to Adevărul.
