    Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi

    Hoa Lo prison is located on the street of the same name. The French colonialists use Hoa Lo to imprison many patriots and communist prisoners. After peace was established (1954), this site was use by the Vietnamese government as a jail for criminal prisoners.

    In 1996, Hoa Lo Prison was moved to the suburbs of Hanoi and a 26-floor tower used for hotel and offices was built in this area. One building at the front and the gate of the prison were kept as a museum. Inside, you can find some photographs as well as a guillotine used to carry out the death sentences of revolutionary soldiers.

    It was also a place to keep American Pilots during the anti-US war in the North. The Museum is open daily, except Monday , from 8am to 11:30am and 1.30pm to 4.30pm.
