Water Palace of Timișoara, Historic monument at the entrance of Iosefin district, Timișoara, Romania
The three-story Palace of Waters exhibits a rectangular plan with decorative marine elements including fish, shells, and aquatic motifs across its facade.
The structure, initially built in 1901 for the Timiș-Bega Hydro-improvement Company, expanded from one to two floors in 1910 through modifications by builder Arthur Tunner.
Architect Lipót Baumhorn designed the building in secessionist style, incorporating neo-baroque elements that represent the Hungarian architectural influence in early 1900s Timișoara.
The Water Palace currently functions as offices for the Banat Water Basin Administration, with recent renovations adding meeting spaces in the attic section.
The central entrance sits beneath a wooden cupola tower, while the eastern facade features double Ionic columns supporting ornate pediments.
