Vecchio lavatoio di Villarios

The Old washhouse of Villarios is located in the territory of Giba (09010, SU), in the Sulcis-Iglesiente, and is a historical artifact linked to the traditional daily life of the village. The structure is an important testimony to rural culture and home habits of the past, when public washers were fundamental points of social aggregation.
The washbasin was used for washing cloths and water supply, making an essential function in community life before the spread of modern domestic water systems. In addition to the practical aspect, it was also a place of encounter and sociality among the inhabitants.
