What was the function of the underground tunnel in Hotel Nacional in Havana?


ANSWER by Vic, Webmaster Havana-guide.com

There are a series of underground bunkers and tunnels in Havana, not only under the hotel Nacional but also in Old Havana (Obispo street) These tunnels were built during the Cuban Missile crisis as protection against a US assault on Cuba.
