THE TOUR STARTS ON TIME.
We propose a unique visit. Join us on this historical tour, exploring the places that still hold memories of those dark years when the Tribunal of the Holy Office wielded its power in the city of Madrid. Who were its victims? What was the society like that lived between the terror and magic that characterize the fascinating 16th and 17th centuries? Were there witches in the city of Madrid? What were the capital's autos-da-fé like?
We will approach this history from another angle, our protagonists are the witches and sorceresses, How was a witch recognized and why were they condemned?
To answer these questions, we must understand both the figure of "the witch" and the society that created her...
