Arquitectos : Salvador Amador , Juan Pugnaire , Baltasar Romero y José Contreras
Construida en época nazari , es la única que ha sobrevivido de todas las que hubo en España , aunque nos ha llegado mutilada y construida " ex novo " en el siglo XIX . Por su función relativa al comercio de la seda , se configuró dentro del zoco tradicional como un cuadrilátero cerrado provisto de nueve puertas . Tras la conquista cristiana fue ampliada , aunque la decadencia paulatina de la seda durante los dos siglos siguientes , hizo que fuese necesario abrir otros negocios textiles y trabajos en cuero , cacão , especies , etc. El aspecto de las tiendas debió ser variopinto , carente de unidad arquitectónica , pero después del incendio del 20 de julio de 1843 , el proyecto de reconstrucción las homogeneizó y sus calles se ensancharon y alinearon ."

Built during the Nasrid period , it is the only one that has survived of all those that existed in Spain , although it has arrived mutilated . and built " ex novo " in the 19th century . Because of its role in the silk trade, it was configured within the traditional souk as a closed quadrilateral with nine gates. After the Christian conquest it was expanded, although the gradual decline of silk during the following two centuries made it necessary to open other textile businesses and work in leather, cocoa, spices, etc. The appearance of the stores must have been varied , lacking in architectural unity , but after the fire of July 20 , 1843 , the reconstruction project homogenized them and their streets were widened and aligned ."
