Just the underground area alone features a swimming pool, spa, wine cellar, movie theater, library, restaurant, bar, gym, sauna, game room, winter garden with simulated light, conference room, vaults, an infirmary equipped even for surgeries, and a command center to communicate with the outside world.

Security includes biometric and iris identification, along with high-tech video surveillance.

Construction of the giant bunker began during the Cold War in 1984 and took 10 years to complete. According to the Mirror, residents of the bunker can survive disasters or even power outages for up to 10 years.

The name of the bunker comes from the Latin “op-pedum” (oppidum in Portuguese), a term used to describe European fortresses of the Roman Empire.

A spokesperson for The Oppidum said: “The bunker will be able to provide long-term accommodation for residents – up to 10 years if necessary – without the need for external supplies.”
