El Corral del Carbon

El Corral del Carbón (the Coal House), a 14th century Nasrid “Alhondiga” (grain store), offered shelter to the merchants, who just had to walk a short distance over a bridge to get to the Alcaiceria and the Mosque (nowadays the Cathedral). It is of special interest since it is the only Nasrid Alhondiga preserved in its entirety in the whole Iberian Peninsula.

It was used by the Christians to accommodate coal merchants, thus its name. It has also been used as a theatre. In fact, its patio still holds outdoor performances (mainly in the summer). For further information, we suggest you visit the tourist information office located inside it.
