Palacio de los Olvidados

The Palacio de los Olvidados in Granada is a museum devoted to the Spanish Inquisition, Jewish history, and the cultural heritage of Andalusia. It is housed in the restored Casa-Palacio de Santa Inés, a sixteenth-century building in the Albaicín, a UNESCO World Heritage neighborhood. The exhibition, which covers more than 700 square meters, combines architectural elements with objects from private collections. Visitors follow a route that explores religious symbols, liturgical objects, and the role of women in Sephardic culture. One highlight is a replica of a ritual bath. The museum also displays a collection of more than seventy Inquisition torture instruments, accompanied by string music. On the second floor, an interactive flamenco exhibit offers a sensory experience that conveys the history and rhythms of this art form. The palace's balconies and oriel windows also offer impressive views of the Alhambra and the historic quarter.
