Museum of Torture and its collection

Museum of Torture
Source

The Museum of Torture, located in the picturesque town of Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, is a unique historical site. It houses an extensive collection of over fifty original torture and capital punishment instruments. These artifacts, which originate from Europe, span a period from the 15th to the 19th centuries. This provides a fascinating, albeit grim, insight into the methods of punishment used in the past.

A Unique Tourist Attraction

The Museum of Torture is not just a historical site, but also a popular tourist attraction in the Cantabrian municipality. It is considered one of the most unusual museums in Spain, offering a unique perspective on the history of punishment and justice. Visitors can expect a distinctive experience that is both educational and thought-provoking.

    Muy mala experiencia el chico que daba las entradas muy desagradable le preguntamos una cosa y nos lo dijo muy rápido y como no le entendimos nos contestó mal delante de 2 niñas pequeñas nos nos dejó entrar al museo y nos echó y como que si tenía derecho de admisión y nos amenazó con llamar a los guardias repito esto delante de 2 niñas pequeñas y mi mujer y todo el rato el chico muy prepotente y al final entramos pero cuando nos íbamos se estaba riendo de nosotros y chico nada recomendable para cara al público si no entiendes algo no volveríamos
