The Palace of the Forgotten is a museum in Granada, Spain, dedicated to the Spanish Inquisition, Jewish history, and the heritage of Granada and Andalusia. The palace is located in the Albaicín, a neighborhood declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 as an extension of the monumental complex of the Alhambra and the Generalife.
The museum occupies the emblematic Casa-Palacio de Santa Inés, a restored 16th-century building declared a Site of Cultural Interest. Its façade features an unidentified coat of arms, whose characteristics suggest it belonged to a converso Jew who wanted to demonstrate their purity of blood. The museum, inaugurated in 2014, offers guided tours by prior reservation.
With over 700 square meters, the Palace allows visitors to enjoy its stately rooms and offers stunning views of the Alhambra and the Albaicín from its lookout point and terraces. In recent years, the museum has featured two permanent exhibitions:
INQUISITION, ANCIENT TORTURE INSTRUMENTS
This permanent exhibition presents a selection of torture and capital punishment instruments used by various inquisitorial courts, both ecclesiastical and civil, throughout Europe. It is important to note that Spanish ecclesiastical courts were sparing in their use of torture instruments, with the garrucha, toca, and potro being the most commonly used. However, civil courts, both in Spain and the rest of Europe, were particularly cruel towards certain groups deemed dangerous to society, from which most of the exhibited machines have been sourced.
