Piteşti Prison Memorial

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:24:29

This memorial marks the spot where the city's notorious prison once stood and where insidious mind-control experiments were carried out in the late 1940s and early '50s. The main memorial is a tiled column; nearby is a map of other detention and extermination sites around Romania. It's a 15-minute walk fron the centre, heading south on Str Victoriei.
