Saint Maurice Caves, Switzerland

Switzerland is unique in that it has enough nuclear bunkers that can accommodate the entire Swiss population.  This is the entrance to one of the underground military bunkers, the St. Maurice Caves. 

No longer in use as a military base, the St. Maruice Caves
were carved out of solid rock in 18 months
and served the Swiss people during the 20th Century.
