Inside the 5 largest gold vaults in the world.

These are places that store enormous quantities of gold, holding symbolic and strategic importance for their respective nations.

Located at 33 Liberty Street, right in the heart of Lower Manhattan's bustling financial district (New York), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York owns the world's largest gold vault. (Photo: Newyorkfed)

The building comprises 14 above-ground floors and 5 underground floors. The deepest floor, located 24 meters below ground, stores approximately 6,331 tons of gold, equivalent to 507,000 bars, according to figures as of 2024. (Photo: Newyorkfed)

The gold vault has 122 compartments, but not a single gold bar is owned by the U.S. Central Bank. 98% of the gold is held by central banks from 36 countries, with the remainder belonging to the U.S. government and other international organizations. (Photo: Newyorkfed)

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York acts as the custodian and manager of gold on behalf of account holders, including the U.S. government, foreign governments, other central banks, and official international organizations. Each gold bar in the vault weighs 27 pounds, equivalent to approximately 12.2 kg. (Photo: Newyorkfed)

Given its immense value, the security system at the gold vault is at the highest level. A 90-ton steel door is the only entrance and can only be opened under the supervision of at least three people. (Photo: Newyorkfed)

In addition, the gold vault is heavily protected by a system of sound and motion sensors, surveillance cameras, and sturdy stone walls that are resistant to drilling, cutting, and bombs. (Photo: Newyorkfed)
