Description

A military bunker located near Holguín, Cuba, that played a role during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. The site was part of a network of defensive positions constructed by Cuba with Soviet assistance during the Cold War. Archaeologists have discovered defiant graffiti inside the bunker, likely written by Cuban soldiers during the crisis, expressing determination not to surrender.

The bunker was part of the broader Soviet military infrastructure in Cuba, which included storage facilities for nuclear warheads that were dispersed from the main Bejucal bunker to various sites across the island during the height of the crisis.
