Cuban Missile Crisis Bunker

A Cold War-era bunker system located on the Cuban coast, dating from the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Archaeological research has documented the remains of bunkers and trenches in this area, where a defiant message was discovered written by a Cuban soldier during the crisis, declaring that surrender was not an option. The site represents a tangible remnant of the tense nuclear standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, when Soviet nuclear-armed missiles were stationed in Cuba.
