'Without a doubt, Cellular Jail remains Port Blair’s most famous and visited site. Now a national monument, Cellular Jail is associated with a dark period of the Indian freedom struggle against the British Raj. The jail was set up around 1906. Throughout India’s independence struggle, a large number of Indian revolutionaries and political figures were imprisoned and tortured here. Such was the extent of their inhuman treatment in this notorious Cellular Jail that Port Blair became infamous as the ‘land of black waters‘. Visitors can see various galleries depicting the excruciating tales of the freedom fighters, their cells and the gallows.'
