Palacio Y Museo De La Inquisicion, Colonial-era museum in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico.
The Palacio y Museo de la Inquisición displays artifacts, documents, and exhibits across multiple galleries within a historic colonial building in downtown Mexico City.
From the 16th to 19th centuries, this structure functioned as the headquarters for the Mexican Inquisition, conducting trials and administrative procedures against religious dissent.
The museum presents collections of colonial art, judicial documents, and period objects that demonstrate the social impact of religious control in New Spain.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with regular admission at 60 Mexican pesos and free entry on Sundays.
Original trial records and administrative documents stored in the museum reveal specific cases of individuals who faced the Inquisition's judicial proceedings.
