Panorama of Con Dao

Con Dao Prison is a place of torture and detention of political prisoners during the years of resistance against the French colonialists and American imperialists. Officially started on November 28, 1861, just 4 months after the French colonialists occupied our country, Con Dao Prison was built to have a place to detain and torture political prisoners. This place was even recognized as the harshest prison in Indochina at that time.
