It is not a salt works, but a graduation tower. A graduation tower is a plant for salt extraction. It consists of a wooden frame that is filled with bundles of brushwood (mainly black thorn).

We were over 30 degrees yesterday, the water is dripping down the side and you can sit down in the shade and watch the drops of water.

In the past, these graduation towers were used to increase the salt content in the brine by evaporating the water. This creates salty, moist air that is good for the upper respiratory tract
