The Museum, also known as the “Medieval Criminal Museum“, displays all the techniques and instruments of medieval torture, instruments of the death penalty and particularly rare documents of the Holy Inquisition (Santa Inquisizione).
It gathers evidence of machines and instruments used in the Middle Ages and during the Inquisition to torture, in many cases to the point of killing, rebels, witches and heretics.
Impressive are the guillotine or the pointed throne, instruments of torture that give goose bumps just thinking about them.
