Cay dua (Coconut tree) prison, about 5 km from
An Thoi and covering an area of 40 ha was the largest prison of
the U.S. forces that held tens of thousands Vietnamese soldiers
and civilians.
The prison was built by the French just before the World War II
and during the Vietnam war became a notoriously vile detention
camp spread over 40ha. It is now an official heritage site with a
magnificent commemorative monument.
