Secret Cities

Some cities are so top-secret they can’t even be found on a map. Others are padlocked, hidden in the forest, or buried deep underground. From America’s WWII mystery towns to Poland’s 800-year-old Wieliczka Salt Mines (above) - which boasts the world’s largest underground chapel - SPYSCAPE explores the world’s most intriguing secret cities.
