Introduction

Alcatraz Island was once a federal prison that housed criminals like Al Capone and George Celino Barnes. Although the prison closed in the 1970s, its remains, including cellblocks, a cafeteria, a lighthouse, a water tower, and the warden's office, are still preserved today. Alcatraz Island is now recognized as a National Historic Landmark in the United States and is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an eerie yet indispensable stop on their journey. The island is also one of the inspirations for the movie title "The Rock" and was featured in films like "X-Men Ⅲ".
