Fullonica of Stephanus, Ancient laundry facility in Pompeii, Italy.
The Fullonica of Stephanus contains multiple washing basins, drying areas, and equipment used for processing textiles in Roman times.
Following the earthquake of 62 CE, this building was transformed from a residential structure into a commercial laundry establishment for textile processing.
The layout and architectural elements of this laundry facility demonstrate the Roman emphasis on efficient industrial processes and textile manufacturing methods.
Visitors can observe the preserved washing tubs, water systems, and equipment placement that illustrate the complete cloth cleaning process of ancient Pompeii.
The impluvium, traditionally used for collecting rainwater in Roman houses, was modified in this building to serve as a large washing basin.
