Regard de la Lanterne, Historical monument and manhole in 19th arrondissement, France.
The Regard de la Lanterne features a cylindrical stone structure with a dome and stone lantern atop, standing in a dedicated garden space.
Built in 1613, this structure served as an inspection point for the Belleville aqueduct system, which supplied water to various Parisian fountains.
The monument represents the engineering achievements of 17th-century Paris through its baroque architectural elements and water management functionality.
Visitors can access the interior during Heritage Days in September, where a double stone staircase leads to an ancient water drainage basin.
The structure contains a section of the original 13th and 14th-century gallery from the great aqueduct, accessible through the manhole interior.
