City Under The City

After the end of the Ottoman rule, Bishop György Fenessy no longer wanted to live in the castle, so he bought two building sites in the city, and the tuff stones that were needed to build the palace were extracted from the hill behind it, so the bishop's palace was built and a huge vault system was created under the town The place of the void left by the extraction of rocks. This vault is characterized by a relatively cool climate and is excellent for storing local goods. It extends for a distance of 3 kilometers under the town from the Hatfani Gate to the Rak Gate. The most beautiful part of the current vault is the hypostyle hall, whose system resembles a chessboard.
