Riyadh Water Tower, Water tower in Al Futah district, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 61 meters into the sky with a conical shape, containing two water storage tanks of different capacities.
Swedish architect Sune Lindström designed this tower in 1969, drawing inspiration from the Svampen water tower in Örebro for its construction in 1971.
The water tower represents the transformation of Riyadh from a traditional desert city into a modern metropolis during the late twentieth century.
The main tank stores 12,000 cubic meters of water at 51 meters above ground, while a secondary tank holds 350 cubic meters for emergencies.
Located on the former site of a demolished casino near Murabba Palace, this tower received fresh paint in 1997 to mark the Battle of Riyadh centennial.
