It is located in the old factory, which was opened in 1862 and existed until 1984. Area of ​​Technopolis & raquo; — about 30 thousand m & sup2 ;.

Flea market

Literally across the street from the 'Technopolis' & raquo; There is a park where amateurs and sellers of antiques, vintages and frank junk gather every Sunday morning. In a large pile of & laquo; all of the euro & raquo; you can find someone lost watches Bvlgari, an old alarm clock, rusty scissors and spare parts from the refrigerator.
