If you always wanted to visit King Solomon's Mines, but were never able to, perhaps Edificio La Francia will serve as some form of consolation. Since 1946, this building has been home to more than 90 shops where craftsmen and dealers dedicate themselves to gold work: one of the most precious industries that exists. The effervescence and tradition of La Francia have meant that its activities extend far beyond the building itself. Should you wish to buy that special gift and at a wholesale price, it is worth taking your time. You can visit various businesses, browse at ease, compare, and make your mind up later, should you wish. You should, however, limit your perusal time if you want to purchase something in particular.
