The new funduq of Naṣrid Granada, built before 1336 beside the silk market and the Great Mosque: an inn for travelling merchants, a warehouse and a wholesale market. It is the only Naṣrid funduq in the peninsula preserved whole. Visitors enter under a stucco portal with a great arch and alfiz; it later served as a playhouse and a tenement before Torres Balbás restored it.
