Dipòsit de les Aigües del Parc de la Ciutadella, Water tank and academic library in La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou, Spain.

The building features a quadrangular plan with parallel arches rising to 14 meters, incorporating brick facades and corner towers across 4,558 square meters.

Constructed between 1874 and 1880, the structure was designed by José Fontseré Mestre with Antoni Gaudí contributing to structural calculations during his studies.

The building transformed from a water reservoir into a Pompeu Fabra University library in 1999, maintaining its original industrial architecture characteristics.

Located at Carrer Ramon Trias Fargas, the facility continues to regulate water supply for the Ciutadella Park's waterfall and irrigation systems.

The interior contains a hypostyle room where support walls convert into pillars, creating an open space with discontinuous mezzanines for reading areas.
