Historical Abandoned Military Bases Around the World

Titan 1 Missile Complex, Aurora, Colorado

Located in the Denver, Co. area, there are six former Titan 1 Missile complexes that remain today. The Titan 1 Missile is one of the earliest intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) developed by the US. It is part of a family of United States-produced rockets meant for both war and space exploration. The missiles were operational between 1962 and 1965, around 100 feet long and specifically designed to carry nuclear warheads. They were stored in these silos until the end of the Cold War and once the missiles themselves were removed, the military abandoned the complex. Surprisingly, security is relatively low at these complexes and thus have been trespassed and vandalized over the years. While you could probably make it into the complexes, the toxic contamination due to metal corrosion, waterproofing paint, and electrical equipment should be enough to deter most people from ever entering.
