Monuments to visit

Prison remains of the French administration. The prison resumed service during the American War. It was declared a historic monument in 1993. Opened to the public shortly afterwards, it was even "restored" with the establishment of new barbed wire networks and very realistic depictions of the atrocities suffered by the prisoners. The Red Cross visited the prison in 1969 and 1972 and confirmed the systematic nature of torture. The overly demonstrative aspect of the reconstructions will not be suitable for all visitors.
