Description
Tight view along the west wing, depicting salt portals; This building, still the entrance to the Saltworks today, was the only possible entry for all the men and the raw materials. All those who entered and left were carefully controlled by the guards of the factory and any fraud, any smuggling, was severely repressed. This building is composed, like all those placed on the half-circle, of three parts: one central and elevated, and two curved wings.
