The Santa Brigida trough square in Genoa.
When you get off at the Genova Principe train station and walk down via Balbi, you can't help but notice this much-photographed glimpse: in this little square, in fact, there remains one of the public wash houses that were once present throughout Genoa.
Furthermore, the little square is very well kept and the houses all around are splendid.

In the centre of a small square that opens up into the maze of alleys between Via Balbi and Via Prè, surrounded by tall buildings, which were restored in the mid-1980s, are the “truogoli di Santa Brigida”, with an elegant metal roof, one of the few survivors of the numerous public wash houses that existed until the 1960s in every corner of the city.
