Today the Fortress System of Komárom and Komárno is an important tourism attraction of the border region and can be found on the UNESCO Tentative List. In order to make the Fortress System an even more outstanding tourist attraction, the two project partners implemented various renovation works. The lead project partner realized various renovations in the New Fortress of Komárno: doorways and avant-corps of army barracks were renovated, new exhibition rooms, new restrooms, a new information and ticket office, a new external electrical network was developed thanks to a new transformer station. Furthermore, the chimneys and ventilation holes were renovated, also new paths were developed for visitors. The Hungarian project partner also implemented various renovations in Fort Igmánd of Komárom: a multifunctional space was developed for events and exhibitions, the sanitary facilities were renovated. Furthermore, the partner elaborated cleaning and aftercare of the Fort’s facade and made some landscaping and spatial planning. The size and interactivity of the areas that can be visited increased, and the conditions for receiving visitors improved, as modern visitor reception centers were established. As a result, a number of exhibitions and events will await visitors, who will have an even more complex experience and the sights. Visitors will be able to see a hand-painted map of the Central Fortress in Komárno, also 360° 3D photos and a joint promo video about the 2 fortresses. Project partners promote the project via joint social media campaigns (on Facebook, in Google).
