Hoa Lo Prison (The Hanoi Hilton)

The Hoa Lo Prison was a prison used by the French colonists in Vietnam for political prisoners, and later by North Vietnam for prisoners of war during the Vietnam War when it was sarcastically known to American prisoners of war as the "Hanoi Hilton". The prison was demolished during the 1990s, though the gatehouse remains as a museum.![](https://irs3.4sqi.net/img/general/width200/10819764_Zg9kNZ2KEpZmJRq9tg1-506ddTIoAjTRMpK5wgP_-pA.jpg)
