  • Why the Holy Office entered Portugal and the different inquisitions in Europe;
  • The connection between the Jewish community in Portugal and Portuguese navigation to the “new worlds”;
  • The process in the Inquisition Court and the different condemnations, the Auto de Fé, the New Christians and even “foot baptisms”;
  • Garcia d'Orta - his work and importance to the world of botany and his trial before the Inquisition.

And a litle of Castelo de Vide history.

From Tuesday to Sunday.
