What drove a king to draw swords against his own subjects beneath your feet? Which unlikely building once saw merchants storming police lines? And how did a local election bribe silence this entire city’s voice in Parliament?

Step where rebels clashed and plots unfolded. Trace the routes armies once marched. Stand among echoes of panicked townsfolk and triumphant schemers as every corner reveals another legend.
