Jihlava Underground

Explore the labyrinth of corridors under Masaryk Square and the historical development of Jihlava. The corridors were minted in rock in several storeys during the 14th to 16th centuries, up to a depth of 14 metres. The reason for its creation was probably economic. Buyers and craftsmen expanded existing cellars to store their goods, the deepening of which was worked by experienced miners. During the German occupation, part of the corridors served as air cover.

The greatest rarity and the mystery of the underground is the corridor, the walls of which when illuminated greenish glow. It was discovered by amateur speleologists only in 1978 at a depth of about 11 meters below the surface. Sensitive people feel the action of energy here.

Underground facilities are prepared for visitors exposures dedicated to medieval mining, mini-canzeny mining landscape and Havířský village, examples of minting and ore processing. Interesting is the exposition dealing with the mining law in Jihlava. There is also a show of ceramic finds from Jihlava in the 14th century and rocks and minerals found in the Vysočina Region.
