Il Corral del Carbón, originariamente al-Funduq al-Jadida, è un edificio storico del XIV secolo nella città spagnola di Granada (Andalusia). È l'unico "alhóndiga" o funduq (magazzino commerciale o locanda) conservato nella penisola iberica. L'edificio si trova a sud del quartiere Albaicin, vicino all'attuale Cattedrale (ex Grande Moschea della città).
L'edificio risale al periodo Nasride ma la data esatta della sua costruzione non è nota. Si ritiene che risalga agli inizi del XIV secolo, prima del 1336 (quando è menzionato in alcuni documenti storici). Il suo nome originale era al-Funduq al-Jadida o "Nuova locanda/emporio". Come altri caravanserragli urbani (conosciuti come funduq in al-Andalus e in Marocco) a quel tempo, era un centro commerciale che fungeva da magazzino per il grano e da locanda e deposito per i mercanti provenienti da fuori città. L'esistenza dei caravanserragli può essere fatta risalire in parte alle strutture greche pandocheion (da cui deriva la parola funduq), attraverso il tardo romano horreum fino all'epoca islamica. Mentre la maggior parte dei funduq in al-Andalus erano edifici modesti che da allora sono scomparsi, il Funduq al-Jadida, secondo quanto riferito, apparteneva alle mogli dei sultani Nasridi e quindi aveva un aspetto più monumentale.
An old Inn, that is now an empty courtyard, but with a small museum describing the history of Granada in one corner. This is well with a visit, although it will only take you 45 minutes at most to see everything (and less if you don't watch the film!). Served as a good introduction to the town's history and helped set some of the other sites into context.

The only surviving merchant inn from the famous silk road. Don't forget to visit the Andalusian legacy museum on the ground floor in the Corral del Carbon, it is free and informative about the life and the people of historic Andalucía.

I really liked Grenada and all its offerings, but there are so many tourists! Even in winter. . .Corral del Carbon is one of the more tranquil sites to visit, where we were able to catch our breath. Not spectacular like the Alhambra, but calm and charming nonetheless.

This is where you get Alhambra tickets! Tranquil historic place like most everything in Granada. Gracious staff. We waited maybe 10 minutes in line for tickets. But still reserved months in advance online. It is best to reserve before arriving in Granada. Then go to Corral del Carbon. We had no problems. Just show receipt at Corral del Carbon and credit card used for online purchase. Voila! Alhambra tickets in hand!

Very friendly staff on the exhibit. The lady showed us an astrolabe, books, local food "tapas" places. And chat with us about the Moorish influence on Spain. You can tell she loves history. You can get the ALHAMBRA tickets and save yourself a line.

It's an interesting place. It's different like the other patios and buildings in the city. But there are not many options to do or see. Just you can take a short walk around. It would be a pity to miss it because the entrance is free of charge!

Had a very good time with friends there. Good for history and nature interested people.
