Description

Port Blair, the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a reminder of many sacrifices that the freedom fighters have taken for our independence. The Cellular Jail is perhaps the most famous remnant in Andaman that reflects India's struggle for freedom. A pipal tree outside this seven-winged Cellular Jail, tell tales of the torture of India's freedom fighters within its walls.In 1897, the British laid the foundation stone of the building. It had 698 solitary cells with no contact between prisoners.
