Palacio de la Inquisicion in Cartagena is a house of horrors complete with a secret prison cell. This place reminded me of how brutal people can be when not restrained by a balance of power.

A guillotine - the severed head and body were never buried together for permanent desecration. |
A place for hanging the innocent |
A stretcher with ropes for the legs, arms and neck |
A necklace of spikes |
A hand and finger crusher. |
This sharp device was tightened down on torsos or heads. |
