Corral del Carbón

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:43:09

Tucked away just to the east of Calle Reyes Católicos is this Nasrid-era corn exchange framed by an elaborate horseshoe arch, which began life as a 14th-century inn for merchants. It has since been used as an inn for coal dealers (hence its modern name, Coal Yard) and later a theatre. It was closed for renovations at last visit, but can still be viewed from the outside.
