Silver house
In the burgher's house at 636/21 Masaryk Square, in the 13th century, the sound of the anvils and dies of the medieval royal mint sounded, in the 15th century there was a bakery. Now the Silver House provides the facilities for a teahouse and organization of Brána Jihlavy with the JAM and CDF studios. A music hall with a capacity of 50 seats and two smaller painted halls are used for social events. The exhibition in the basement of the house reveals the unique story of the discovery of the Jihlava mint. Guided tours take place here regularly on Saturdays.
The Jihlava underground
The Jihlava underground with a total length of 25 kilometers is the second largest in the Czech Republic. Corridors were carved into the rock in several levels during the 14th to 16th centuries, up to a depth of 14 meters. They served as cellars for storing food and goods, during the Second World War partly also as an anti-aircraft shelter. The greatest rarity and mystery of the underground is the corridor, the walls of which glow greenish when illuminated. Collectors and a civil defense shelter from the last century are part of the underground.
