MAISON CENTRALE IN HANOI CITY
 
The Hoa Lo Prison was given the name Hanoi Hilton by American prisoners of war held here during the Vietnam War. According to the North Vietnamese, these soldiers were not covered by the Geneva Convention regarding the treatment of war prisoners because America never officially declared war on Vietnam. This infamous prison, was built by the French in the early twentieth century and continued to be used as a prison up until fairly recently.
