A small and precious piece of the village’s history, the washhouse is now included within a large green area.
Not an abstract washhouse but a place that has known the toil and sacrifice of the washerwomen, that has heard stories of life, the chatter of housewives and the voices of those babies that mothers had to carry around.
This image of daily life even finds echoes in the lexicon: think of the Sardinian saying “parimus in su trogliu” to indicate a noisy, confused situation.
The washhouse is a structure consisting of a large basin with spring water that still flows continuously.
It served as a place for housewives to meet and work, until the arrival of water in homes around the 1950s. In 2008, restoration work began on the entire area, which was transformed into a children’s playground, soccer field and physical activity trails. Accommodation work was completed in 2010.
