What was once the most expensive prison in the country now stands in ruins, but that does not stop curious tourists from visiting the attraction.

  Such a beautiful historic sight...that was used for centuries to imprison men, women, children and a dog. I wasn't sure what to expect here but it was one of the highlights of our trip. More
