We will observe the bust of the best known inquisitor, Tomás de Torquemada. In addition, we will be able to see the recreation of different scenes that were part of the inquisitorial process and machines such as the Judas cradle , the barrel or the so-called iron maiden which was a kind of sarcophagus with nails where the accused was introduced.
