CroatiaThe article discusses the ongoing restoration of the Brajda washhouse in Rijeka, Croatia, which is part of a larger effort to preserve historical sites. The work includes replacing damaged stones, repairing missing sections using either natural stone or artificial materials, cleaning old non-original mortar joints, and installing new neat joints. The project involves historical reconstruction and includes conservation-restoration work, restoring the sluice gate, and creating an information plaque. According to sculptor Ivan Valušek, who is overseeing the restoration, the washhouse was historically significant for citizens, as it was used for washing clothes brought in baskets rather than being washed at home. The washhouse, built near the Brajda spring, has been in use since the 19th century but was closed to the public in 1939. The restoration efforts aim to complete by the end of 2026.
