Regarding Place Qzadriya. The marker most likely contains an error in translation, as the plaza is known as the "Tinsmith's Square" due to its fame in the manufacture and sale of utensils, lanterns and other products made of metal. The error probably came from the French to English transcription and translation as the name of the square in French should be "Place des Ferblantiers" (Tinsmith's Square).
