Vila Viçosa, September 2016
The building on the left is a "washing hall", where citizens (i.e. housewives) used to go to do the laundry by hand. In the 1980's such washing halls were still in use. Obviously, they were also social places for chatting and gossip. Laundry could also be dried here. The building dates from 1940.
