    Step inside the Pobla de les Fembres Pecadrius, the walled medieval brothel of Valencia in 1494 — one of the largest and most famous brothels in all of medieval Europe, with its own gate, streets, taverns, and city-paid doctors. This medieval history documentary explores life inside the Valencia brothel through the eyes of the women who lived there, the men who visited, and the city officials who regulated every detail of their lives. From the economics of debt and clothing to the looming arrival of syphilis, Holy Week sermons, the Inquisition, and the great autumn flood, discover why a single night inside the Pobla could cost you everything. Set against the backdrop of Columbus's voyages, the Borgia pope, and the conquest of Granada, this is medieval Spain brought vividly to life.

This medieval history deep-dive explores the Ufficiali dell'Onestà, Florence's government-run prostitution office, the lives of registered women under Cosimo de' Medici's republic, and the real dangers of plague, disease, debt, and violence in 15th century Italy. From Florentine sumptuary laws and the bells and gloves forced on women of the trade, to the economics of debt bondage inside a commune-owned brothel, this is quiet narrative history at its most immersive.
