According to the Hoi An Cultural Heritage Conservation Management Center, Faifo Prison was one of the large-scale prisons built by the French colonialists in Quang Nam - Da Nang in the early 20th century.

This was a place of imprisonment for revolutionary fighters and patriotic citizens who participated in the struggle in Quang Nam and neighboring provinces during the resistance against colonial invaders.
