23610, Fuensanta de Martos How to get

A few meters from the Fuente de la Negra is another public building related to water, the laundry, whose origin dates back to the 17th century, with characteristic architectural elements of the popular Baroque such as the carpal access arches or the small central Solomonic column that rests on a pillar. Its use, markedly social, has been maintained until almost today. Inside, it is an elongated rectangular nave (10 x 2.5 meters), made of mortar and lime, with a central channel, covered by a roof of skylights, which constitutes the laundry room itself.
