Furthermore Torquemada, the first great inquisitor of the Spanish inquisition, was a prior in the convent of the holy cross in the city (also in the property) | |
| Seville | Pedro González de Mendoza, archbishop of Seville (and thus strongly associated to the cathedral) played a foundational role in the creation of the spanish inquisition. He cowrote the report (along with Torquemada) which moved the catholic monarchs to create the institution. In fact the Spanish inquisition was hatched in Seville while the catholic monarchs stayed in the city, likely in the alcazar. |
