Torre do Castelo, Water tower observation deck in Jardim Chapadão, Campinas, Brazil

The Torre do Castelo stands 27 meters tall and functions as both a water reservoir with a capacity of 250,000 liters and an observation point.

Built in 1940 following engineer Prestes Maia's urban development plan, the tower initially supplied water to the expanding northern districts of Campinas.

The circular observation room added in 1972 features six windows with panels indicating the names of neighborhoods visible from each vantage point.

The tower opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, and weekends until 21:00, with a closure during lunch hours from 12:00 to 13:00.

Located 735 meters above sea level, the tower's observation deck provides 360-degree views extending to Serra do Japi mountain range 40 kilometers away.

GPS coordinates: -22.89002,-47.07685
