History to touch

The building complex comprises more than 3,000 square meters of historical structure and dates back to the 1730s. As a former courthouse and prison building, the site represents political persecution, imprisonment, and the confrontation with the dictatorships of the 20th century. The permanent exhibition and the historical traces on site make the event experience both focused and intense.
