🇳🇬 Lagos Weekend Escape: Freedom Park ⛲️

Discovered this hidden gem on Lagos Island – a colonial-era prison transformed into a vibrant cultural hub! 🎟️ Entry: 1,000 Naira 📍 History Unlocked: • Once the Broad Street Prison, now a park with original jail walls, cell foundations, and haunting iron gates. • Mini-museum + library + food stalls + live performance stage 🎤. 👮♂️ Meet Kwas: Our passionate guide showed us: • Tiny cells with one narrow bed + bucket (sometimes packed with 3 prisoners!). • Women’s jail → now an outdoor amphitheater 🌸. • Fun fact: Bricks used for renovation were shipped from the UK! 🇬🇧🧱 ⛪ Bonus: Pretty church + Nigeria’s first police station nearby. #LagosWeekend #FreedomPark #HistoryMeetsArt
