Chilling instruments of torture that you will not be able to forget!
A dark and terrifying journey through the forms of torture established since the Middle Ages.
What is the sambenito, the infamous mask or the pillory of tone? If you want to know more about all these instruments of torture, this is your exhibition in Toledo. A careful selection of 40 pieces among apparatus and execution machines used by the courts of the Inquisition, both Spanish and other European countries, to obtain confessions from those considered heretics in the time of the Catholic Monarchs.
THE TORTURE OF THE INQUISITION
The garrucha, the toca, the colt and other torments 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 necklace or the wheel, ...) and pieces of public mockery such as the barrel pillory are some of the examples exhibited in this special permanent exhibition in Toledo.
