Information on the dykes and ponds for fish situated behind the saltworks comes from 1554. Even on the XVIII century plans several ponds can be seen. These were formed by damming the Storynka stream which drained the Campi shaft. In the Middle Ages there was probably a town moat. For decades the pond served the saltwork^s needs, and when the Salinary Garden was founded in 1868, it also had recreational functions.
