The washhouse is established at the exit of a spring sheltered by a portico with three arcades, in wooden roof structure covered with curved tiles. The water flows from a conduit emanating from a receptacle covered by a portico of stone and brick, framed by two stone pilasters and surmounted by a brick entablature. The water leads to an oval washhouse developing as a covered gallery on wooden roof structure, surrounding a stone basin.
