Wander along the sunny streets to find one of the oldest churches in Madrid, the Iglesia San Ginés, and learn all about the Spanish Inquisition and the terrible fates that awaited the city’s law-breakers at Plaza Mayor. Your expert guide will lead you through the legends and untold stories that show you the darkest depths of history, as you locate Santa Cruz Palace, previously Madrid’s oldest prison.
