Fremantle Prison

Fremantle Prison, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Western Australia’s oldest buildings, stands as a significant testament to Australia’s convict history. Constructed in the 1850s by the very convicts who would later inhabit its cells, the prison is known for its harsh conditions and the use of brutal capital punishment. Today, visitors can explore the somber corridors and cells, gaining insight into the lives of the prisoners and the grim realities of incarceration during that era.
