The Castle of San Jorge was a fortress on the Triana side of the Puente de Triana that was used as a headquarters and dungeons for the Spanish Inquisition. In 1823, the Triana Market<\/a> (the market we frequented during our stay) was built on the site, while below the market, archaeological excavations were continued over the years and eventually it became the museum of the Castle of San Jorge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish Inquisition began in 1478 by the Catholics who wanted to maintain their religion by regulating the Jews and Muslims. Over time, of course, it became something much more terrible than simply “regulating”. This museum is a history of the inquisition and of the wrongs that were committed, with an interesting link to modern-day human rights near the end of the exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remnants of the porter’s house – he and his wife were in charge of security among other duties. His house has the typical layout of a central courtyard, external stairs, woodshed, pantry and kitchen on the ground floor. Sleeping quarters were on the upper floor, which is now the market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inquisitors used mules and these were the stables. There were posts for 5 animals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some of the remaining jail cells. Most of the cells have been replaced with the market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kitchens and the well. The small 4 rectangular holes in the foreground is the stove. The charcoal fires stoked with bellows was a system used till the mid 20th century.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most important houses had underground cellars called fresqueras, which maintained constant humidity, temperature, and darkness. Apparently this one was also used as sleeping quarters during the summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
