Wrights Hill Fortress Wellington

With a view to taking measures in order to protect the dwellers of New Zealand during the World War Two, Wright’s Hill Fortress, Wellington was constructed. Consisted of operation rooms, an underground network of tunnels and three gun emplacements this fortress is one of the must see spots for travelers coming all over the globe to visit Wellington.
