Una dintre cele mai cumplite închisori comuniste ar putea deveni muzeu: Fortul 13 Jilava
Fort 13 Jilava, a former communist prison, may be transformed into a museum, highlighting its dark history. Initially built as part of a defense ring around Bucharest, it became a notorious political prison after 1907. During the communist regime, it served as a transit and extermination center for political prisoners. The site is infamous for the 1940 massacre of 64 political detainees by the Legionary Police. Visitors can explore the site, which is a historical monument, although access is limited. Over the decades, more than one million individuals were imprisoned here, including notable figures like Corneliu Coposu and Nicolae Steinhardt.
