The Spanish Inquisition's Secret Prison: Inside the Cárcel Secreta

In this episode, Lucas and Luna take you inside the Cárcel Secreta, the Spanish Inquisition's hidden prison network in Seville and Toledo. Discover how the Inquisition operated beyond the public autos de fe, using secret cells, psychological torture, and meticulous record-keeping to extract confessions. Hear about the infamous case of Francisco de la Cruz, a priest who claimed divine visions, and the controversial inquisitor Alonso de Salazar, who questioned the validity of confessions obtained under duress. We explore the daily life of prisoners, the role of the carcelero, and the infamous Edict of Faith that encouraged denunciations. Learn about the beatas, crypto-Jews, and conversos who were caught in the Inquisition's web, and how the Cárcel Secreta became a symbol of fear and control in early modern Spain. #SpanishInquisition #CárcelSecreta #InquisitionPrison #Seville #Toledo #FranciscoDeLaCruz #AlonsoDeSalazar #AutoDeFe #EdictOfFaith #CryptoJews #Conversos #Beatas #Inquisitor #Suprema #FamaPublica #History #FexingoHistory #Spain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
