Nearby Souq des Etoffes, the Funduq des Forgerons no longer functions as a funduq, but still serves as a base for the city's forgerons (blacksmiths). It's like walking back a century in time, into a world of blackened faces, smoking fires, red-hot metal and constant hammering. Climb up to the 1st floor for good views down into the courtyard. This is the most recognisable of the sites used for The English Patient .
