Tunnel of Rijeka is a pedestrian tunnel located in the center of the city of Rijeka. It stretches 350 meters below Rijeka's Old Town, from the Cathedral of St. Vitus to the courtyard of the Dolac Elementary School.
The tunnel was dug by the Italian army between 1939 and 1942 to protect the civilian population from Allied bombing during World War II, and was used during
Homeland War. It's always cold in the tunnel and as you walk through its corridors you can feel the spirit of those turbulent times.
