Historical Sites & Memorials

This collection documents the somber history of the Côn Đảo archipelago, which served as a brutal penal colony under French and South Vietnamese rule for over a century. The list features the infamous Tiger Cages and Cow Stables, where political prisoners were detained in harsh conditions. It also includes the Hàng Dương Cemetery, the final resting place of thousands of revolutionaries, and the grave of national heroine Võ Thị Sáu. These sites preserve the architectural remains of the prison system and serve as memorials to those who died during the conflict.
