Sector III, a lively residential quarter in the eastern part of the city, hums with the sounds of everyday life. This is a district where practicality meets the sweat of labour. Narrow streets wind through rows of sturdy, two-storey insulae, their weathered stone walls adorned with simple wooden shutters and balconies where laundry flutters in the breeze. The smell of fresh-cut timber mingles with the scent of the nearby marketplace, where butchers, bakers, blacksmiths and more ply their trades in open-air stalls. Workshops spill onto the streets as children weave between carts and crowds alike. In the distance, the clang of hammers blends with the occasional rumble of a passing wagon. There is always activity in this part of the city, and though its residents find their lives defined by toil and resilience, they are always grounded in a shared sense of community.
