Cuban Missile Crisis Bunker

A military bunker located near Bejucal, Cuba, dating from the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. The site forms part of a defensive network of bunkers and trenches built along Cuba's coast during the Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Archaeological research has uncovered defiant graffiti inside the bunker, likely written by Cuban soldiers during the crisis, declaring that surrender was not an option.
