Laravel Auth hidden redirect

Install new Laravel 5.4 project.

Run php artisan make:auth.

Go to http://localhost:8000/home (without being logged in).

I get redirected to http://localhost:8000/login

This redirect seems like magic. This is the route for home:

| | GET|HEAD | home | | App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@index | web,auth |

We never get to the index() method because the auth middleware takes over. I open the auth middleware file Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate.php and there's no mention of the /login redirect.

Where is the redirect from /home to /login defined?
