2.Exhibition Inquisition Instruments of Torture in Granada

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · from $9Best value

Visit Granada’s Palacio de los Olvidados in the lower Albaicín for a self-guided exhibition of Inquisition-era torture and execution devices. Allow about 30 minutes, then head to the palace viewpoint for Alhambra views. Admission costs $9 and includes all fees.

“The museum was largely a collection of torture devices. It was rather small and can be completed in 30 minutes. We didn't mind though, as it was not expensive. It was quite interesting; however, I would have appreciated a bit more on the history of the inquisition.”
