Take a journey into the past of Madrid and explore the history of the Spanish Inquisition with the help of this self-guided audio tour. Founded in 1478 by the Catholic monarchs Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon, the Spanish Inquisition went down as one of the most brutal episodes in European history. It is infamous for its use of torture and persecution of Jews and Muslims. People were accused of crimes they did not commit; communities were expelled from the country; thousands were executed – it all is the tragic legacy of the Spanish Inquisition. Explore these dark pages of Spain’s history walking along the magnificent streets of Madrid. Get a different perspective on some of the city’s famous landmarks and discover Madrid’s ghost stories and legends. To enhance the experience, go on this tour in the evening. Stroll through shadowy alleys and squares of the Spanish capital and listen to the stories about exorcism, witch covens, torture, and brutal trials. Examine the hidden gems of Madrid in the black of night and get a feeling that the spirits of the past are right behind the corner.
