just few examples still exist in Italy, the medieval wash house is an unusual and interesting visit that takes just a few minutes. Go to discover how Sicilian women in the middle age used to wash their own clothes.

Lava stone stairway leading to a wash house where centuries ago the people used to wash their clothes thanks to the source of underground fresh water coming up right there.

Take a moment to stop in this quiet spot close to the beach. It's a medieval laundry spring, still working, and a cool and quiet place if you visit outside tourist hours

luogo da non perdere, in antichità le donne venivano al lavatoio per lavare i panni della loro famiglia, era un posto dove si trovavano e mentre lavavano, potevano chiacchierare e raccontare i fatti loro....

Da non perdere. Luogo molto fresco in cui sgorga acqua fredda lungo dei canali e vasche. Qui le lavandaie andavano per pulire il bucato, tra grida e canti siciliani, utilizzando le apposite vasche per strofinare i panni.
