Base sous-marine de Bordeaux, Naval base and museum in Bacalan district, France
The building contains eleven interconnected concrete and granite cells, forming a structure measuring 245 meters long and 162 meters wide.
Between 1941 and 1943, the Todt Organization constructed this submarine base to house Italian and German submarines during World War II.
The Bassins des Lumières utilizes four former submarine cells to present immersive digital art exhibitions projected onto walls and water surfaces.
The submarine base opens Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, located on Boulevard Alfred Daney, with limited access for wheelchair users.
A memorial stands in front of the building to commemorate Spanish Republican forced laborers who constructed this military structure.
