Tunnel

Tunnels were a means of fast travel for the Assassins in Rome, Constantinople, Boston and New York City, and served as a way to arrive at destinations rapidly, while avoiding guards.
==Roman tunnels==
Giovanni Auditore da Firenze discovered the tunnels in Rome,Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood novel though his son – Ezio Auditore da Firenze – was first introduced to the tunnels by Niccolò Machiavelli in 1500.Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
There were a total of nineteen tunnel entrances throughout Rome, but only one tunnel entrance was available initially, leaving the other eighteen to be renovated by paying a sum of florins to an architect. The three tunnels that were located outside of the Rosa in Fiore, Barracks, and the La Volpe Addormentata were automatically renovated once the respective building fronting it was; making them the only ones that were required to be restored.
Each district could be accessed via the tunnel network, with the exception of the Vaticano District. Every standard entrance to the tunnels looked alike, and had the letters – an acronym for the Senatus Populusque Romanus – engraved over their gates. The allocation of the Roman tunnels were as follows:
;Centro District
*Tiber Island Hideout
*Piazza del Popolo
*Mausoleum of Augustus
*Pantheon
*Capitoline Hill
*Rosa in Fiore
*Tevere Port
;Campagna District
*Barracks
*Northern Campagna
*Southern Campagna
*Castra Praetoria
*Baths of Diocletian
*Viminal Hill
;Antico District
*Colosseum
*Porta Nomentana
*Lateran Palace
*Baths of Caracalla
*Thieves Guild
*Roman Forum
==Constantinople tunnel locations==

*Fatih Camii
*Arcadius
*Galata
*Hideout
*Galata Mosque
*Bayezid Camii
*Gul Camii

==Colonial America==
The tunnels in America were used by the Freemasons. Samuel Adams introduced Ratonhnhaké:ton to the tunnels in Boston in 1770, and he explored them over his lifetime.
To uncover new entrances, he used lanterns to light his path, and employed his skills in freerunning and lockpicking as well as utilizing s that he came across at some of the Freemasons' exits.Assassin's Creed III
In 1781, Connor emerged from the tunnels in a well in New York's militarized district to infiltrate Fort George, after his apprentices and the Marquis de Lafayette had cleared the sealed entrances for him.

==Trivia==
*In Brotherhood, if Ezio made use of the tunnels, there was a brief cutscene of him opening the latch on the gate and entering, though it did not show him traveling through the tunnels themselves. In Revelations, the cutscene was omitted, with the screen fading to black whenever the tunnels were accessed. In Assassin's Creed III, tunnels became explorable for the first time.
*Tunnel entrances glowed white when seen with Eagle Vision.
*In Revelations, the Galata District tunnels connected with the other districts, even though there was a large body of water between them.
*In Assassin's Creed III, after completing the main storyline, it was possible to fast travel to the well in the military district and enter the underground. Once inside however, Connor would appear without a lantern, the passage to the tunnel network created during "Lee's Last Stand" memory was blocked once more, and he couldn't exit the tunnels via the nearby ladder. The only way to exit the tunnels was to fast travel to another entrance within the network, and leave from there.
*Haytham Kenway was also able to explore the tunnel network in Boston when he arrived in the colonies.
