Washhouse of San Costanzo

This wash-house, one of the first to be built, was originally at the exit of Via Tapoletti, next to the Oratory of San Costanzo.
The earthquake of 23 February 1887 almost completely changed the face of the old town, with the demolition of many houses and the Oratory itself. The wash-house below was also affected.

With the reconstruction of the religious building, with the façade facing west, the wash-house also changed its location, to the right of the façade, some thirty metres away.

Clothes hung out to dry were leaning against the fence that overhung the supporting wall at their side. Today, of course, it no longer exists, like all the other wash-houses.
