# Caves of Maastricht (North Caves)

Maastricht, Netherlands

A vast man-made labyrinth of limestone quarry galleries beneath Mount Saint Peter, dug over centuries to mine marl for building. Once numbering some 20,000 passages, the cool tunnels sheltered refugees and hid treasures in wartime and are lined with old wall drawings.
