1Hoa Lo Prison
Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the "Hanoi Hilton" by American POWs during the Vietnam War, is a historic site located in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. Originally built by the French in the late 19th century to detain Vietnamese political prisoners, the prison later gained international attention during the Vietnam War for housing captured U.S. pilots. Today, Hoa Lo stands as a museum, offering a powerful and haunting glimpse into the harsh realities of colonial rule and wartime imprisonment. Its preserved cells, relics, and exhibits serve as a stark reminder of the resilience and sacrifices of those who endured its walls.
