The Inquisition palace - Cartagena de Indias
Situated
around the Bolivar park, the inquisition palace is
magnificent with its baroque style and its splendid wooden
balconies. This important construction was finished in
1776 and is the principal evidence of the power that was
given to Santo Oficio, which was in vigour before the
independence in 1896.
The documents and tribunal archives that were conserved
were burnt and the inquisitors were then deported. The
first Fate Act was exactly executed at this place in the
Bolivar park, so in the inquisition place, February 2nd
1641.
