Despre activitate
Discover the hidden duality of Graz. At first glance, it is a Mediterranean dream of pastel-colored facades, vibrant markets, and Renaissance courtyards. But beneath this relaxed elegance beats the heart of a heavily fortified bulwark. Accompany Clara, an art enthusiast, and Leo, a passionate historian, as they uncover the secrets of the Habsburgs, face the grandeur of the world's largest historical arsenal, and climb the castle hill to hear stories of brave resistance. This is the story of how beauty and horror shaped a UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece.
