The City Orphanage is a Public Asylum and Housing Facility for the city's street urchins and abandoned children. It provides basic shelter, meager communal meals, and rudimentary vocational training in crafts like cobbling, sewing, and rope-making. This is a three-story stone and timber complex that serves as one of the most crowded institutions in the Old City. The roof is made of thick, mismatched slates, and the chimneys are perpetually smoking from the large basement kitchens.
