Cultural project returns soul to Góis' washhouses

Diário de Coimbra31 August 2026 at 11:30

The cultural project "Washhouses with Soul" holds its third edition in Góis, reviving the old public washhouses of the village. The initiative brought art, music, and moments of socializing to the spaces that once served as places where the community washed clothes together.

The activity returned to Góis' washhouses, allowing participants to reconnect and share memories in these traditional spaces. The project combines cultural programming with the valorization of local heritage.

This third edition of "Washhouses with Soul" confirms itself as a bet on the cultural dynamization of the region, using history and local traditions as a motive for new community experiences.
