Башня в Почтовом, Water tower in Pochtovoe, Crimea.

The octagonal water tower exhibits Eastern architectural elements with carved stone decorations, geometric patterns, and a distinctive dome on its upper section.

The tower was constructed between 1894 and 1896 with funds provided by the Emir of Bukhara, Seid Abdul Ahan Khan, to address water supply needs.

The tower features Arabic calligraphy on its frieze and ornate geometric patterns on the second tier, reflecting Middle Eastern architectural influences.

Located near the Alma railway station, the tower contains a reservoir that receives water through pipes from the Alma River for distribution.

The structure incorporates false windows with carved frames on each of its eight walls, with evidence suggesting four windows were originally open.
