Libava fortress


Built in the beginning of the 20th century, a Libava fortress was one of the most expensive and ambitious projects of the army of Russian Empire on the Baltic sea. The massive concrete fortifications with eight cannon batteries were supposed to surround the city and protect its population from German attacks. Its secret underground passages became the most famous Liepāja's urban legend. As you can see it all fell into the Baltic Sea.
