Joint Development of the Fortress System of Komárno and Komárom

Today the Fortress System of Komárom 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 will carry out various renovation works. The lead project partner will elaborate various renovations in the New Fortress of Komárno: doorways and avant-corps of army barracks will be renovated, new exhibition rooms, new restrooms, a new information and ticket office, a new external electrical network will be developed thanks to a new transformer station. Furthermore chimneys and ventilation holes will be renovated, also new paths will be developed for visitors thanks to the green and invasive trees cutting. The other project partner will also elaborate various renovations in Fort Igmánd of Komárom: existing exhibition hall, canteen and consumer hall, offices and storages, also water blocks will be renovated. In addition to this a new heating kitchen will be established to make Fort Igmánd a suitable venue for various events. Furthermore, the partner will elaborate cleaning and aftercare of the Fort’s facade and make some landscaping and spatial planning.The size and interactivity of the areas that can be visited will increase, and the conditions for receiving visitors will improve, as modern visitor reception centers will be 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 will promote the project via joint social media campaigns (on Facebook, in Google) about the project progress and about the Fortresses.
