    Place of the old leather tanning in the city. The tanks and the water washing and transport system are preserved. It is very much worth a visit.

      These basins were used for treating, washing, dyeing, and drying leather, primarily for clothing. Located outside the city walls because of the stench, these medieval tanks existed for many centuries. A small factory remained in operation for a long time, but was closed in 2005, putting an end to this ancient activity in the area forever. maps.app.goo.gl/f3PdGeeb78mj6EwN8

        Interesting facility. Not just the old pools, but also the rest of the facility.
        The detour is definitely worth it.
