The most characteristic parts are on the ground floors, where the brick and flat brick arches and vaults are preserved. The façade facing the irrigation canal is supported by buttresses and still has a cantilevered slab. On the upper floor of one of these tanneries, there is a section of latticed wall made from bricks, a construction technique to create suitable spaces for drying the hides. On the irrigation canal façade, the openings have a different composition on each of the floors. On the first and second, the finish of the openings made with lowered brick arches must be highlighted.
