Museo de Guadalupe

Formerly known as the Museum of Viceregal Art, this early 18th-century convent located in Guadalupe, a small suburb of Zacatecas, is now a museum with an impressive collection of religious art.

Reviewed By Cartagena2019 - Cartagena, Colombia

The Museo Virreinal de Guadalupe is quite a distance form Zacatecas, about 20 minutes by car from teh centre when the traffic is not heavy,but it is definitely worth the trip.The church and the museum, the former convent from early 18th century are not only stunning edifices, but also the amount of art is extraordinary. Moreover, you learn a lot about history, including teh links between Spanish Mexico and the Philippines, and even the early unsuccessful attempts to bring Christianity to Japan.

Museo de la Inquisicion

Reviewed By An0nyMs

The guide went into plenty of detail as he showed the horrific methods used on criminals as well as other undesirables like homosexuals. (He showed one torture especially for homosexuals.) I won't post photos of any of them; they're too horrible. (Instead, here's a fun one of a tortured skeleton in a Santa cap. :) As he finished by saying, they do this to help people remember.
