Water Tower, Modern skyscraper in Expo district, Zaragoza, Spain
The Water Tower is a modern skyscraper in Zaragoza's Expo district shaped like a water droplet with glass and concrete surfaces. It rises 76 meters on a trapezoidal white concrete base and contains multiple floors connected by interior ramps.
The tower was built for the 2008 International Exposition, which centered on water and sustainable development as core themes. It became a symbol of urban renewal and growing environmental awareness in the city.
The tower contains exhibition spaces where visitors learn about water's role in daily life and sustainability challenges. A panoramic bar on top encourages people to think about conservation while enjoying views of the city.
Visitors can explore the tower through guided tours and ascend via double helical ramps to reach the observation area. The building includes three basement levels that are also open to explore for a complete visit.
Inside the structure is a massive interior void that extends 41 meters high, supported by unusual conical pillars. These pillars create open spaces reaching up to 21 meters, giving the interior a dramatic spatial quality often missed by visitors.
