Palacio de los Olvidados

Permanent collection exhibition in Granada devoted to the Inquisition and the instruments of torture used in its trials, with views from the terrace of the Alhambra and the Albaicín.

The route traces the history of the Inquisition and displays antique instruments of torture used in its trials, both in the religious and the civil sphere. The pieces include the garrucha, the toque, the potro and the iron maiden, tools that, despite their names, were used to inflict punishment.

The Palacio de los Olvidados, which hosts exhibitions and cultural activities in Granada, presents this proposal as a visit designed for anyone who wants to learn how these methods were applied in the justice system of the time. The works are viewed throughout its rooms, and the content focuses on the historical theme, without departing from the subject of the Inquisition.

From the palace's terrace there are views of the Albaicín and the Alhambra, allowing visitors to photograph the neighbourhood and the monument at the end of the visit.
