ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:54:00 +0000

In this 15-minute educational video produced by Academia Play, the Visual Thinking technique is used to explain the importance of the Spanish Inquisition or Tribunal of the Holy Office created in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs. The video focuses on disproving misinformation through a series of contrasted references about the origin, purpose and way of acting. The description of the video states: “In this video we are going to talk about the Inquisition, and above all we are going to focus on the Spanish Inquisition. When we hear the word inquisition we immediately think of death, torture, fanaticism, intolerance, control and fear…. These characteristics undoubtedly existed and that is why this phenomenon has tended to be explained from a somewhat sensationalist and often distorted point of view. In this video we are going to refute a series of commonly accepted clichés, most of the time due to the bombardment of erroneous information. At the end of the video we will include a small bibliography for those who want to approach this subject from a rigorous approach. We have been advised by Don César Cervera Moreno”.

The royal chapel of Granada, which was erected to preserve the remains of the Catholic Monarchs, was built in Gothic style between 1505 and 1517. The 16th century is the century of the chapel’s fullness, where the sobriety of the building is highlighted. Under Emperor Charles I it continued to flourish with all kinds of decorations. Today, the mark left by Queen Isabella, in a certain sense, marks the large number of visits that take place every year. On this website, users can access the history of the monument, as well as take a guided tour where they can see the different cultural contributions that the chapel has undergone over the last 500 years.
