Lavoir in Bergamo, Public washhouse in Città Alta, Bergamo, Italy.
The Lavoir consists of multiple stone basins arranged in rows within a covered structure, designed to accommodate multiple users for washing clothes simultaneously.
Established in 1891, this public washhouse served the local community during a period when individual households lacked proper washing facilities.
The washhouse functioned as a central meeting point where residents exchanged information and maintained social connections while performing their daily washing tasks.
Located in the upper part of Bergamo, the washhouse can be accessed through narrow medieval streets connecting to other historical structures.
The water system of the Lavoir incorporates channels that distribute fresh water to each basin through a network of stone conduits.
