The spectacular tunnel network stands as a testament to the endurance, wisdom and bravery of the local people in their fight for independence. The network's total length is nearly 2 km, structured into three floors with the first 13 m beneath the ground, the second 15 m, and the third, 23 m. The village was built over two years and required approximately 6,000 cubic metres of earth to be dug out. It is linked to the sea by seven exits, which also function as ventilators, and to a nearby hill by another six.
