Some places have multiple lives full of mystery and drama.  Canfranc International Railway station is one of them.

The abandoned Nazi railway station in the Pyrenees mountains had fallen into disrepair, but now it hides a secret laboratory researching dark matter. Deep below the surface in the old tunnels that cross the border between Spain and France, scientists have set up movable astroparticle laboratories where they are attempting to unlock the mysteries of dark matter. The Nazis first used it to transport hundreds of tonnes of looted gold plundered across Europe. Perversely at the end of the war, the station that had once helped thousands of Jews flee the holocaust was used by Nazi War criminals to evade capture themselves
