A small little gaol worth a stop in. It’s free with a donation suggested/expected for upkeep. If you are on your way to the Bathers Beach - stop by. It won’t take much time to see all the exhibits.Full review by Jeana P

Hi Britt, The only UNESCO Heritage Site in Fremantle is the Fremantle Prison, which we can highly recommend! The Fremantle Round House is the oldest public building in Western Australia, purpose built as a gaol in 1831. The Fremantle Prison was built later by convicts in 1850. We hope you can enjoy a visit to both sites in the future!
