Remains of Taipei Prison Wall

The Remains of Taipei Prison Wall extend approximately 100 meters on both sides of the Chunghwa Telecom property at Aiguo East Road and Jinshan South Road.

The Japanese colonial government constructed this prison in 1910 to detain political prisoners following frequent anti-Japanese uprisings after the First Sino-Japanese War.

The prison walls incorporate stones from the Old Taipei City Wall, using sandstone manually carved from quarries in the Dazhi and Neihu areas.

Visitors can access the historic site through guided tours that provide detailed information about the architectural features and construction methods of the early 20th century.

In May 1945, fourteen Allied airmen were executed in the prison courtyard after a mock trial, just 58 days before World War II ended.
