Gold Base (also variously known as
Gold,
Int Base, or
Int) is the international headquarters of the
Church of Scientology. It is located in
Riverside County, California to the north of
San Jacinto and about from
Los Angeles. The heavily guarded compound comprises about 50 buildings surrounded by high fences topped with blades and watched around the clock by patrols, cameras and motion detectors. The property is bisected by a public road, which is closely monitored by the Church with cameras recording passing traffic.
