Royal Monastery of the Incarnation (Real Monasterio de la Encarnación) Tours and Tickets

The Spanish Inquisition is one of history's darkest moments. The stories have been hushed and the buildings covered so we are left to face this piece of history with a big question: What actually happened in the Spanish Inquisition? With a local historian, you'll move around the old town uncovering the truth about this notorious era. Starting in Plaza de la Villa and strolling through the quaint streets of the Old Town, you'll actually be standing in the footsteps of victims and follow their story from arrest to questioning to execution. Ending in Plaza Santo Domingo with a better understanding of what happened in this chapter of history, you'll see that the inquisition is still around us in the way we eat, speak and live.
