Abstract

On April 19, 1820 the Tribunal of the Inquisition of Logroño was definitively abolished, active since 1570. It happened just one month after the new proclamation of the Constitution of Cádiz, and in an environment of liberal euphoria. It was closed as a result of the decree of abolition of the Inquisition of March 9 with the realization of an inventory of causes, documents and books that lasted eight days, by the civil, judicial and ecclesiastical authorities, which were deposited in an ark of three keys.
