The Tanneries
The Tanneries, located at number 9 on the Rambla de Ferran avenue, are the most ancient and the best conserved in Spain.
Composed by two workshops, now restored as a part of six tanneries of the 13th century.
Both who have been recovered contain the canalization used in the Middle Ages, which gives the visitor a clear idea of the use of this essential element during the transformation process of the skin.
A dry or salt skin came to the workshop and became transformed into a soft, supple leather ready to be used to make gloves, hats…
The visit also shows an ancient water mine.
