Shady, colonnaded historical structure located in a park next to an ancient convent. Free to enter. The building used to be a public laundry facility, now it has been turned into a fountain and a centerpiece of a nice little park. In a word, pleasant.

I love this place. Just imagine a couple dozen people washing their panties and socks together. It could be a lot of fun talking, laughing, screaming and washing. The water could get really dirty. But anyway, the structure is in a very good shape and looks pretty.

Tanque as the locals call it is the town laundry where Mayan ladies can be seen doing laundry as they have for centuries. It is easy to find a short walk from Parque Central. It's across from the Santa Clara ruins and has a small park attached to it where people meet to laze on the grass, do yoga and feed the pigeons while children play. It's a beautiful little spot with a great pizzeria right next to it on the corner where you can grab a slice. It's free and surrounded by life, churches, ruins and great food. There are street food vendors there every day serving delicious tacos and Guatemalan food very cheap. At night it's all lit up and gorgeous.

One of the most photo graphic spots of Antigua. You can also visit the San Francisco church which is within walking distance

Quieter than the main central park. Better views of the volcanoes. Go to the Snug for Sunday lunch - it's very good.

Wandered across this park in Antigua, a little peace from some of the surrounding action. Park, water source and some structure, that turned out to be where Mayan families would come to do their laundry. Today, it’s a source of water for some of the town doggos that need a drink, if there is someone friendly enough to help them (which there ALWAYS are). Looking for a quick break, this is the spot.

I love to see there is still a place when locals can do laundry together and gossip about the news in town. The guide told me before Covid it is a happening place daily, now let’s hope the ladies will be back in full force soon!

Nice place to sit down and watching street life in the center of Antigua. Nice views.

Traditional laundry place. There is a park where you can take a break, and the view from the laundry area is very nice.

Nice spot close to the central park. Interesting history as well because this used to be a community laundry where local women washed their clothes.

Beautiful view of the erupting volcano. Relaxing spot.

Historical landmark perfect for a photo shoot. Go early or late afternoon for the best view

This small park next to Iglesia San Pedro Apóstol, is lined with palm trees and has a unique feature-- an ornate public laundry basin. Antigua has modernized so much that it remains almost a museum piece. However, when you go into the small towns in the mountains, these public laundries are well used.

Heard about this place on a city your and had to try the chiliquiles for lunch. Service was good and the food was yummy. Will go back later in the day for the true Irish Pub experience.

Great place for views of Fuego, Acatenango, and Agua and you can take great pictures through the arches. Quieter than the Parque Central, though there are still pigeons and a few street vendors.

It's a park, it's interesting...in the past, this was were they washed clothes. I always see a group of people doing yoga here.

One of my favourite spots in Antigua. Little square where local Mayan ladies wash their clothes in the carved out laundry tubs. Families and friends gather on benches and on the grass to rest and relax. In front of the Santa Clara ruins (unfortunately closed to public due to covid restrictions). Very picturesque!

Cool historical landmark in Antigua, people used to wash their clothes here and pass on gossip as they did so

Beautiful and well preserved

Great landmark.

Fun spot to see where they used to wash their clothes. There isn't much to do other and go and see so I would definitely recommend combining this with the monastery up the street.

It is beautiful and it has its own history behind. You can't miss this place if you visit Antigua Guatemala

So interesting was a public laundry with stone sinks to clean clothes
