The Llavaner of Benavites

It is a historic public washhouse located in the municipality of Benavites, in the Comunidad Valenciana. Built in the 19th century, this space was used by the women of the town to wash clothes, being an essential place in daily life at the time.

The washhouse is designed with a stone structure and has channels through which water flows, coming from a nearby natural spring. This system ensured a constant supply of clean water, facilitating the domestic tasks of the community. In addition to its practical function, the washhouse was a social gathering point, where women shared conversations and strengthened community bonds while carrying out their work.

Over time and with modernization, the use of the Llavaner de Benavites declined, but it remains a symbol of the cultural heritage and local history. Today, it is a place that faithfully reflects the daily life of past generations and serves as a tourist point of interest for those who wish to learn more about the town's traditions. The preservation of this space demonstrates Benavites' commitment to preserving its historical legacy.
