Hoa Lo Prison Museum

Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the 'Hanoi Hilton', is a former prison in Hanoi, Vietnam, that was originally constructed by Vietnam's French colonial rulers and largely used to house political prisoners. The prison was built around the turn of the 20th century and was used to torture and abuse prisoners, including fighters for Vietnamese independence from France and American prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. Today, a remnant of the prison has been converted to a museum, focusing on how the Vietnamese suffered at the hands of the French. The museum showcases the prison's history and the conditions that prisoners faced, making it a significant historical site to visit
