A landmark three-part series on the history of Spanish art and architecture presented by Andrew Graham-Dixon. ‘The Dark Heart’ tells the story of the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries, the brutal conquest of the New World, and the madness of the Inquisition. Driving across the central plateau from Salamanca to Madrid, Andrew explores the spectacular beauty of the Spanish landscape while immersing himself in the dazzling, troubling art of the Golden Age.
