Today, the Petersberg Citadel stands as a remarkable example of European fortification architecture from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Nestled in the heart of Erfurt, this citadel offers a unique glimpse into the past, where history whispers through its ancient walls. When you visit, take the time to explore the underground tunnels, which once played a crucial role in the citadel's defense system. It's a fascinating peek into military strategy from centuries gone by. Whether you're a history buff or simply love a good story, the Petersberg Citadel is a must-see.
