The New Caravanserai

The merchants who throng our markets want for a proper Funduq, a walled inn where wares may be stored under lock and traders lodged under guard. Target Character has set aside the ground for it beside the Silk market of Target Location. The Italian merchants have pressed for it most of all, for they handle the better part of our trade, and a sound house for their goods is a sound house for our customs.

    historical_info = battle_for_the_strait_events.53.historical_info The al-Funduq al-Jadida, known to the Castilians as the Corral del Carbón, is the only Nasrid caravanserai still standing in Iberia. Documented by the early fourteenth century and held by the wives of the Nasrid sultans, it served as a grain warehouse and a lodging for merchants beside the alcaicería, the gated silk market of Granada.

    Much of that commerce lay in foreign hands. Genoese merchants and bankers dominated Granadan trade, drawn by silk and by the gold of the trans-Saharan routes, and one market of the city was known simply as the Alhóndiga of the Genoese.
