Switzerland, known for its neutral stance, has the world's largest network of nuclear bomb shelters. Instead of dismantling these facilities after the Cold War, the country continued to build and maintain them. Today, Switzerland has more than 370,000 nuclear bomb shelters. Some of these shelters have been repurposed to house migrants.
This extensive shelter system reflects Switzerland's unique approach to civil defense and preparedness.
