Description of your city tour to discover the Spanish Inquisition
The Spanish Inquisition, also known as the Spanish Catholic Inquisition, was an institution created in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. Its aim was to maintain the purity of the Catholic faith in Spain and to suppress all forms of heresy.
Your visit begins with a journey back in time to 15th-century Spain. You’ll discover how the Inquisition was set up to hunt down heretics, Jewish converts and Muslim converts who were suspected of secretly maintaining their ancient beliefs.
Next, we’ll explore the brutal methods employed by the Inquisition to extract confessions and denunciations. You’ll learn more about the Inquisition’s famous trials.
The tour continues by examining the consequences of the Spanish Inquisition on Spanish society at the time, including the effects on culture, religious tolerance and population displacement.
