Hoa Lo Prison ('Hanoi Hilton')


Made famous during the Vietnam War as it housed several Americans, including Senator John McCain.  Much of the original prison has been destroyed and replaced my modern structures, but a large part remains and is now a museum.  Not for the Americans per se, as the prison was originally a French colonial jail to house and torture (including beheading) Vietnamese revolutionaries.
