Vukovar Water Tower – A symbol of croatian unity

The Vukovar Water Tower, 50 metres tall and with a volume of 2200 cubic meters of water, was built in the late sixties in the then existing city park and picnic site, the so called Najpar-bašča, at the entrance to the Vukovar quarter called Mitnica. Its volume and size made it one of the largest structures of that type in Europe at the time. Until the war, the top of the Water Tower housed a restaurant with a view of Vukovar, the Danube, and the surrounding vineyards of Syrmia. During the Serbian aggression on Vukovar, the Water Tower was one of the most common targets for enemy artillery which caused over 600 points of damage and today it represents a symbol of victory and new life. The structure will not be restored to its original function, instead it will become a memorial to remind about the suffering and pain lived through by the City of Vukovar.
