PIAZZETTA BAGNO

In this open space, the Muslim public baths were to be found,  they opened along one of the ancient shari, main roads which connected the ancient quarters rabad, through secondary, narrower roads The present Via bagno connected two access gates to the city: Bab al wadì (river gate) and  Bal al Balarm (Palermo Gate).
Roads, alleyways, blind alleys, courtyards with wells and washing basins represented in the Islamic urban plan the last stage of the gradual passage from public to private: walking along them today, allows the discovery, through a irregular labyrinth-like itinerary, of the real heart of this city in the midst of every day life and tradition.
