Tito's Bunker (ARK D-0), Konjic
Atomska ratna komanda ARK D-0
A Cold War nuclear bunker secretly built in Yugoslavia, now a venue for the underground contemporary art Tunnel Biennale. Visits by reservation only.
ARK D-0 was secretly built inside a mountain near Konjic between 1953 and 1979 at a cost of about 4.6 billion US dollars. It was designed to let Tito and 350 senior officials survive a nuclear war for six months, and it remained classified until the 1990s. The bunker preserves its original conference rooms, communications room, Tito's bedroom and power generators, and it also serves as a venue for the Tunnel Biennale contemporary art exhibition. Visits are by reservation only, as a guided tour of about 1 hour, and tickets cost about 20 EUR. It is about 55 km from Sarajevo and can be combined with a trip toward Mostar.
