Gasa is a characteristic narrow city street, in Višnja Gora we can find it on western and northern part of the city, today it is named Sokolska ulica (en. Falcon street), after the former Falcon home. GASA lived a completely different life, as here were craftsmen, mostly bootmakers and tailors. Here also lived night watchmen, who everyday lit lantern lights on paraffin. These lights were located next to every fifth house. At ten o’clock the started to sing:
”It was ten o’clock, holy Ana, holy Florian, come to our aid. Lit the fire, lit the lights, it was ten o’clock.” They changed the hour in the song until 3 am.
