The Inquisition took place in Mexico from 1571 to 1820. The Antiguo Palacio de la Inquisicion was built in the first third of the 18th century by Pedro de Arrieta who introduced such innovations as the octagonal entrance and the interlaced arches with unsupported junctures located in the building's courtyard. The current building houses a museum devoted to history of medicine Mexico. When the Federal District was created in 1824, the State government needed to move from the building (to Texcoco), to be outside the Federal District.; The Inquisition took place in Mexico from 1571 to 1820.
