Its name was given by the Christians when they conquered the city, in times of the Catholic Kings, because the coal merchants worked in this place. It was built in 1336 and was originally a market in times of the Arabs.
It is the only Spanish- Arab corn exchange that has entirely arrived to our days in the Iberian Peninsula.
The merchants lived here and it was also used as a warehouse. It is square and has three floors. It is surrounded by galleries with a pavilion of entrance with a great horseshoe arch that gives access to the hall which has a beautiful mocarabs dome. The façade, richly decorated with plasterwork, is dominated by a great horseshoe arch with an arched doorway.
Nowadays, it is the head office of the Legado Andalusí (al- Andalus legacy), as well as the Information and Tourist office dependent on the Autonomous Government of Andalusia.
