    The Museum of Witches in Zugarramurdi, Spain offers visitors an intriguing look into the history of witchcraft and the infamous witch trials that took place in the region. Located in a small village known for its connection to witchcraft, the museum provides informative exhibits on local legends, inquisition practices, and the social context of witch hunts.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's atmospheric setting, housed in a former hospital building, which adds to the overall experience. The exhibits, while not extensive, are well-presented and include audiovisual elements that help bring the stories to life. Many reviewers found the historical information engaging and educational, particularly regarding the local witch trials and the cultural impact of witch hunts.

    However, some visitors noted that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in a short amount of time.
