Remains of Taipei Prison Wall

The Remains of Taipei Prison Wall (Chinese: 臺北監獄圍牆遺蹟; pinyin: Táiběi Jiānyù Wéiqiáng Yíjī) are located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan, at the end of Aiguo East Road and Jinshan South Road next to the Southern Taipei operations center for Chunghwa Telecom.

The stones were carved completely by hand from the quartzose sandstone quarries in the Dazhi (大直) and Neihu areas of Taipei.

In 1944 and 1945, Allied airmen who had been shot down or crashed while on patrols over Taiwan were held in the Taipei Prison by the Japanese Army.

They were executed in the prison courtyard 58 days before the end of World War II.

When the war ended, the rest of the men were released and returned home.
