Rimski bunar (Roman Well)
Description
Not a Roman well as it wasn't built until the Austrians arrived in the 18th century, but it is modelled on earlier versions in Italy. Due to the height of the fortress above the river at this point the well had to be dug down some 60 odd meters to reach water. Two spiral staircases that start on opposite sides of the well so are always half a turn away from each other go down to a lobby area at the bottom where water could be collected from. Due to the design of the stairs it meant one was always for going down, and one for going up so people didn't have to try and pass on the staircase. You can't go down the well, but you can look down at the construction
