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.

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.

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

Questo luogo ubicato nel centro storico di Cefalù è un sito totalmente gratuito. Durante i secoli passati le donne , non avendo l'acqua corrente a casa, erano solite andare in questo posto per lavare gli indumenti sporchi familiari. Tutto ciò era possibile grazie al fiume Cefalino, un fumiciattolo caratteristico.
