Mysterious histories, not so obvious places, dark nooks, and meetings with ghosts. You can see Lublin from "below" as well. Or are you scared?
Lublin Underground Trail
The trail was created by conjoining a dozen of cellars at the Old Town. Almost 300 meters long walk starts by the Crown Tribunal at the Market Square, and ends at the Po Farze Square. An interesting addition to the trail is an interactive, moving model of the Great Fire of Lublin from 1719. teatrnn.pl/podziemia/

Fortuna Cellar
Under the historic townhouse of the Lubomelski family at the Market Square in Lublin you can find the Fortuna Cellar. Underground, where a winery used to be, unique polychromes of secular topics were preserved. The paintings were most probably commisioned at the turn of XVI and XVII century. Carpe diem!
