Excursion in Secret soviet bunker.
In the territory of the rehabilitation centre Līgatne, 9 m underground, there is a well equipped facility with a total area of 2,000 sq.m, whose secrecy grading was removed only in 2003.
The bunker was built during the Cold War when the Soviet Union maintained constant high alert for a Western attack, more specifically a nuclear assault from the United States. It is hard to imagine, though, how the elite of Soviet Latvia would have been rushed to the bunker in a few minutes, given that the distance from Riga to Ligatne is 75 kilometers. This makes one suspect that the bunker might have been used also in case a nuclear war launched by the Soviet Union. The bunker was supplied with everything necessary to survive severa months after a nuc lear fallout.
