Palace of the Forgotten

On its façade there is an unidentified coat of arms, with features suggesting it belonged to a converted Jew who intended to show based on heraldry his status of pureza de sangre (blood purity).

ft (700 m2) of exhibition space and unique great halls, the museum's terraces serve as vantage points to some impressive views of the Alhambra and the Albaicín.

Gallows with views of the Alhambra, guillotines and "torture masks" are mixed in the Palace of the Forgotten with symbols of Sephardic culture, with sundials and astrophysical advances that recall the presence and persecution of the Jews and evidence the light and shadow of that period in Jewish and Spanish history.

[4] The Spanish Inquisition, established by the Catholic Monarchs in 1478 in order to "purify" Spain and impose Catholicism, lasted 350 years until it was abolished (de facto) in 1834.

String music, "soft like the light flowing through its rooms", leads the visitors through the "path of terror", giving way, with a skeleton tied to a wheel and a sanbenito, to a repertoire of torture elements distributed across the two floors.
