This was built in 1336 and was orginally
a corn exchange in Moslem times. Merchants and carters would stay here and
it was also used as a store. After the Christian
conquest, the Catholic Monarchs allowed
one of their servants to live here and when he died without heirs, it
was sold by public auction. By now it was called the Corral de Carbón
as coal merchants would stay here, and their coal weighed nearby. It
was
also used as a theatre at the beginning of the 16th century. |
