    A small but informative museum reckoning with the terrible history of this prisoner. The museum recreates the conditions using original cells. It includes actual graffiti from the prisoners as well as statues of inmates with authentic artifacts of the the period. The museum does a good job at taking responsibility for the atrocious conditions they allowed at this site.

    It is a place that is great to visit, although the atmosphere is tense, the stories found on the walls are incredible! A bit of the history of those deprived of liberty!

    From the moment you walk in, you feel all the vibes of what was lived in that place ... the whole journey takes place with goose bumps, but very chivas the stories narrated on the walls, the exhibitions are really original, the day we went there were actors and actresses doing the atmosphere of the time, we felt totally transported. Definitely a place to visit
