Slightly small but affordable and they give student discount

Another place I didn't know existed. So glad we went in. The torture that some poor people were put through!!!

Fascinating yet terrifying! Just unbelievable the devices that were used in the 'dark ages' in an effort to encourage information to be told or witchcraft to be proven or disproven. Well worth the visit - one of the two highlights to the visit to Napoli today
