August 22, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team

The Contra Dam, commonly known as the Verzasca Dam and the Locarno Dam, is an arch dam on the Verzasca River in the Val Verzasca of Ticino, Switzerland. The dam shot to popularity after a James Bond stuntman jumped off it in the opening scene of the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan.
