Cuban Missile Crisis Bunker

A military bunker located near Guantánamo, Cuba, dating to the Cold War era. This bunker is part of a system of fortifications built during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Recent archaeological research has uncovered defiant graffiti inside the bunker, believed to have been written by Cuban soldiers during this period, declaring that surrender was not an option. The bunker is situated in the Guantánamo Province, an area with a long military history due to the presence of the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay.
