Lavatoio Pubblico, Public washhouse in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
The Lavatoio Pubblico contains multiple stone basins arranged in rows, where water from local springs flows through a system of channels.
Built during medieval times, this municipal facility provided essential washing services to residents who gathered here daily to clean their clothes and linens.
Women of Ascoli Piceno spent hours at the washhouse exchanging local news and maintaining social bonds while performing their washing duties.
The washhouse remains open to visitors throughout the year and stands within walking distance from the main square and other historical buildings.
The stone basins feature individual compartments with different water levels, allowing for separate washing and rinsing stages in the cleaning process.
