Description
For over two centuries, the Spanish Inquisition cast a long shadow over colonial Peru and different parts of the Spanish Americas, silencing dissent and enforcing religious orthodoxy with brutal efficiency. Established in Lima in 1570, the tribunal investigated, prosecuted, and punished those accused of heresy, including Protestants, mystics, and crypto-Jews secretly practicing Judaism. Join us for a deep dive into one of the most feared institutions of colonial Peru. Through real Inquisition trial records, firsthand testimonies, and historical accounts, we will explore how the tribunal operated, who fell victim to its reach, and what its legacy means today. Discover how accusations of witchcraft, blasphemy, and forbidden books could lead to public trials, secret prisons, and even autos-de-fé—grand public spectacles of punishment.
