Beautiful entrance to what used to be a warehouse and shelter for merchants. Built in the 1200's, this now houses offices for the city's orchestra.

Maybe it doesn’t sign itself very well but the fascinating and user-friendly museum just inside the Tourist Info door is a must-go and do. The whole building’s quite interesting too.

The building itself is interesting but not worth a visit in its own right. But the small museum is a great introduction to the history of the city - strongly recommended.

While the building itself lacks information that informs of its wonderful historical significance it is still worth the visit. However, the small museum at the back is very informative regarding the history of Medina-Garnata.

This building has a fascinating history. It was originally a granary and a roadhouse of sorts, a place for Arab traders to stay while in town to sell their wares to the merchants in the nearby market area. When the Catholic monarchs drove the Moors out of Spain, they gave it to trusted followers who used this lovely building to store coal. Later still, it operated as a comedy theatre but ended up very rundown and boarded up. Fortunately it has been beautifully restored. A small gallery inside describes the history of the building and the area (free admission). A good place to visit in conjunction with the old market area near the cathedral.

The Corral del Carbón or Coal House is a 14th-century monument and is the only Nasrid public house preserved in its entirety in the Iberian peninsula. There is no entry fee to this place and it is an antiquated structure with an intricately carved entrance, but had been modernised from inside and hosts a museum and offices. The courtyard is cobbled and has a plain water fountain in the centre. The history of the place is more remarkable than its appearance.

Kids ( ages 7 and 9) were utterly fascinated by this spot. Using the information in my next book on Spain, I told the kids of the travelers who would stop here on their journey along the silk road. They would tell stories around the campfire and rest with their camels for the night.

This was circled on my map by the tourist information officer for my tour. It was harder to find than I would like, as I could see no signs at all in the adjacent main avenue, it was located in a passageway, like an alley. The façade is moorish, which would be interesting if I hadn't seen so many of those in the Alhambra. Inside there was only an unimpressive patio. Save yourself your time and skip this "attraction".

While walking around Granada we came across this structure and courtyard. While we enjoyed the architecture and uniqueness of it, we didn’t realize the history of it until researching after the visit.

This is one of the four "Andalusian Monuments" covered by one 5 Euro ticket. For me, it was the least interesting of the four. However, it is still fairly interesting, as a unique survival from the era of Muhammed V. It was a kind of warehouse/inn for traders and merchants You enter under a horseshoe arch with internal ceiling decoration - "stalactite style" - like some of the Palacio de Nazarios rooms in the Alhambra. Around the internal rectangular courtyard a simple 3-storey building remains. Following the end of Nasrid rule, it became at times an inn, coal-storage bunker and theatre. It now houses an interesting display of the history of Granada.

Can you still pick up Alhambra tickets (with pre-purchased online reservations) here? If so, can you pick up the tickets for consession/reduced price reservations (youth, free child) as well? Thank you.
Written 27 February 2018
Please visit tickets . alhambra-patronato . es and you will find all information how to buy tickets in advance. Have on mind that tickets purchased in advance cannot be returned/changed. And children under 12 have free access.
