Lavatoio Medievale

Step into the medieval life of Cefalù at the Lavatoio Medievale, a public wash house built in the 16th century over the Cefalino River. This historic site, used by locals for centuries to clean their clothing and household linens, retains its original stone basins and washing stones, which were used to pound and scrub fabrics. The row of cast-iron spigots, some shaped like lion’s heads, adds a touch of ornate detail. Today, visitors can explore this well-preserved structure and imagine the daily routines and social interactions that once filled its spaces.
