Tunnel Gric, Zagreb

To return home we made our way to the Art Park (although there was not much art there) to the entrance of the Grič Tunnel. The Grič Tunnel is a pedestrian tunnel located in the centre of the city and consists of a central hall, which is connected by two passageways to the west and the east, and four passageways extending to the south. It was built during World War II to serve both as a bomb shelter and a promenade but following the war it quickly fell into disrepair and disuse. The tunnel saw renewed use only in the 1990s, hosting one of the first raves in Croatia, and functioning as a shelter during the Croatian War of Independence. In 2016, the tunnel was remodeled and opened to the public, serving as a tourist attraction and hosting cultural events. Planned expansions include a museum and a lift but as yet nothing has progressed. While it is just a tunnel, it was a handy shortcut and the lighting and curves made it interesting to photograph.もっと詳しく
