The tunnel open for visitors has an entrance next to the Cathedral of St. Vitus and extends under Rijeka's Old Town to the courtyard of the Dolac Elementary School. It was dug by the Italian army in the living rock in a length of 330 metr3s in the period from 1939 to 1942. This was done for the purpose of protecting the civilian population from aerial bombardment, going down in places to a depth of ten meters. It is about four meters wide and an average height of 2.5 metres. The main tunnel tube has two branches, one leading to the building of the former city municipality and the other towards St. Vitus Cathedral.
