El Museo de las Brujas de Zugarramurdi. Relato de un proceso inquisitorial que rompe con estereotipos [The Zugarramurdi Witch Museum. a story of an inquisition trial that breaks with stereotypes]

Abstract

The Zugarramurdi Witch Museum recovers and displays a tragic fragment of the town’s historical memory, paying tribute to the victims in a space for mourning and remembrance. It tackles the subject of witchcraft with rigour, in the context of the mythology, traditions and legends of the area, together with the inquisitorial processes that took place four hundred years ago in northern Navarre and culminated in the Auto de Fe de Logroño. In July 2026, it will be 19 years since this cultural facility opened to the community, a time in which it has continued to evolve, acquiring a notable social dimension as a cultural catalyst, without falling into trivialisation or fantasy.
