Traveler reviews
Ryan L.
★★★★★4 years agoShocking experience from this museum. It is great to see the dark history behind this city and Catholicism. I'm grateful I was born in the modern time without facing such conflicts and brutality in the old days. The only advice is this museum is obviously not suitable for children.
Mihaela Mesarić
★★★★★3 years agoInteresting museum. Entrance fee is 7 EUR. I learned a lot about inquisiton. The torture methods are shown in detail. On the top floor there is perfect view on Alhambra. That was the best part for me…
