Description

The Palace of Inquisition is located in the historic Plaza de Bolivar in Cartagena’s Old Walled City and is home to a museum dedicated to that dark period of Cartagena’s past. On display are remnants of that fearful time including torture devices used by Inquisitors such as: the Collar of Puas Punitivo, The Spanish Tickler, an authentic Witch Scale, and the Heretic’s Fork. The second floor houses the Historical Museum of Cartagena, dedicated to preserving 500 years of heritage from the original indigenous inhabitants of Cartagena de Indias through the dark Colonial Era to Colombia’s independence. All of this within walking distance of shops, restaurants, the Gold Museum, and Iglesia de San Pedro Claver (a 17th century Jesuit Convent). For a true history buff—especially one with a taste for the bizarre—the Palacio de la Inquisición is a must.
