Place Benjamin Zix

Place Benjamin Zix is a square bordered by one of the arms of the Ill River in the Petite France district of Strasbourg. It is distinguished by the Maison des Tanneurs, a half-timbered building constructed in fifteen seventy-two that overlooks the water. The square serves as a focal point in a neighborhood historically associated with the tanners who once worked here, using the river's flow to process hides in buildings with open galleries designed for drying skins.
