Castillo de San Jorge

This guide to the Castillo de San Jorge in Seville explains why a produce market now stands where guidebooks promise a fortress: in 1481 the Catholic Monarchs handed this riverside stronghold to the newly formed Tribunal of the Inquisition, which held and questioned accused heretics here for roughly two centuries. You'll hear how the tribunal eventually abandoned the flooding building, and how the city built a market directly over its ruins. A staircase behind the stalls now leads down to what a 1990s renovation uncovered.
