Tha Old Prison, Citadel Gozo

The Old Prison was in use from the mid-16th century until the beginning of the 20th century.  The complex is divided into two sections: the entrance hall, which served as a common cell in the 19th century and a free-standing block with six individual cells.  The walls of the cells and corridors in the Old Prison are covered with graffiti.  The representations include ships, stars, hand profiles, and names, and date from different periods.
