Short description: The canals helped the city to become prosperous in the past, while today they are the favourite place to go out for locals.
The alley takes its name from a wash house, still largely intact, in use from the nineteenth century to the 1950s to wash clothes and linen. It was originally called "Vicol de Bugandee" (from "bugada", laundry) and took its current name only later.
Dating back to the fourth century, the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore in Milan is one of the oldest churches in Milan and Italy as a whole.
Depending on your host and their chosen route for the tour, this stop might also be included in your route.
