Life museum on the street!
It was like a big secret that shattered 126 years ago. It was created year-on-year when Košice was a rich city. At the potter's, in the old center, a burgher's house was created, a memorial that can be discovered by you today!
Imagine that there were merchants, triggers, and craftsmen. It was the people who tried to make money so they could live and go to the theater. At that time in Košice was organized large festhene and markets where everything was sold.
