Description
A city surrounded by canals of the medieval era. A sophisticated channel system has been set up to direct the waters of the river since the 13th century. The use of this network, which has been controlled, has evolved over time: initially used for defensive purposes, it has been gradually reassured to other activities, such as the supply of various craft professions (with a channel lined with structures linked to the pastel industry, among others).
