THE TORTURE OF THE INQUISITION
The garrucha, the guitar, the rack and other tortures in which fire was used are some of the examples used mainly in Spain. Texts and engravings contextualize the exhibition. A selection of execution machines (guillotine, executioner's axe), torture machines (the spiked collar or the wheel, etc.) and pieces of public ridicule such as the barrel pillory are some of the examples exhibited in this special permanent exhibition in Toledo.
