Hoa Lo (Hỏa Lò) Prison

Hỏa Lò Prison, also known as the "Hanoi Hilton," is a historical site in Hanoi, Vietnam, originally built by the French colonial government in the late 19th century. Initially intended to house political prisoners, it later became notorious during the Vietnam War for its detention of American prisoners of war (POWs). The prison complex now serves as a museum, offering visitors insights into its grim history through exhibits, artifacts, and recreated cells. It stands as a poignant reminder of Vietnam's struggle for independence and its wartime experiences.
