Toledo was an important religious and cultural center during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, which began in the 15th century and continued until the 19th century. The Inquisition was an ecclesiastical court established by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, to pursue and eradicate heresy and other practices considered contrary to the Catholic faith. In Toledo, the Inquisition had strong control over the population and carried out public trials and executions in places such as the Plaza de Zocodover. Witchcraft, considered a form of heresy, was also persecuted by the Inquisition in Toledo. People accused of practicing witchcraft or sorcery were often arrested, interrogated, and tortured to obtain confessions. Sentences could include confiscation of property, public penance and, in extreme cases, execution at the stake.
