What to see near Agriturismo La Cantina

Heading down toward the city from the north side leads to the Porta Cappuccina district, home to the 17th-century public washhouse, also called the Fonte di Sant'Emidio. According to tradition, the spring was made to flow by the patron saint to baptize new converts. Built entirely of travertine, it has its basins in a rectangular space set below street level, enclosed by a loggia of five arches with a balustrade; on the inner wall an inscription from 1677 forbids anyone to stop women from washing their laundry.
