Terezín is a fortress town that Emperor Joseph II had built in the late eighteenth century, with streets in a grid, barracks and brick walls surrounded by moats. Today it is a small, quiet town; walking round its square and streets, knowing what they were between 1941 and 1945, completes the visit to the museums. Within the town dogs may go on a lead, but they are not allowed into the memorial buildings.
