Located in the Bay of San Francisco, Alcatraz attracts visitors from around the world who visit its ruined cell blocks, listen to the stories of former prisoners and discover the famous criminals who were locked up there.
Closed in 1963 due to high costs and degradation, prison would require massive and costly repairs to be usable.
