Abstract
In the first half of the 14th century, the Banu Sidi Buna family established a zawiyya (= marabout) in the upper part of the Albaicín that survived until the capture of the city in 1492. The members of the tariqa sadilli (a Sufi brotherhood) met there to carry out their religious practices.
