About this build
The tannery of a medina, where hides were soaked, dyed and dried. Its yard is a honeycomb of square vats, two blocks across, sunk half a block between rims of stone you can walk along: some full of water, the rest of dye, yellow, red, blue, brown, orange, white and teal. The tanners' houses stand round three sides of it, three storeys of red earth with bands of cut stone, a door and shuttered windows on every floor facing the pits and a wooden balcony on posts with a rail along each upper floor, where buyers stood to watch. Inside are the workshops with their cauldrons of lime, barrels, scraping benches and smokers, and above them the leather shops and stores with bales of dyed leather and chests, lamps on every floor and a ladder up through them to the roof terraces, where hides lie drying in the sun behind the merlons. A low wall with a horseshoe gate and lamps closes the fourth side on the lane.
