Corral del Carbón, Nasrid caravanserai in central Granada, Spain
The rectangular building features a central courtyard surrounded by three-story galleries with wooden balconies and stone-paved corridors leading to various chambers.
Built in 1336 under Sultan Yusuf I, the structure initially served as a grain warehouse and accommodation for traveling merchants in medieval Granada.
The entrance portal displays intricate Arabic inscriptions and geometric patterns, demonstrating the refined architectural techniques of the Nasrid period.
Located near Granada Cathedral, this heritage site opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 15:00, with weekend hours including afternoon sessions.
The building stands as the sole remaining medieval Arabic caravanserai in Spain, maintaining its original facade and architectural structure from the 14th century.

Grenada is a city experienced like a poem. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada, it combines Muslim heritage, Catholic fervor, and Andalusian rhythm. Behind ochre facades lie shaded patios, fountains, mosaics, and carved arches that tell eight centuries of history. The Alhambra watches over the city like a stone dream, the Albaicín district unfolds its white alleys, and the gardens of Generalife recall the delicacy of Nasrid rulers. At every turn, a bell tower follows a minaret, an Arab market opens onto a baroque cathedral. Granada is as much an open-air museum as a living place, where flamenco still escapes from the Sacromonte caves. Between spirituality, art, and jasmine fragrance, the Andalusian city retains an elusive, almost mystical beauty.
