The Water Tower on the Drava in Usnjarska Street received its current form in 1555. It is a late Renaissance fortress that protected the southeastern part of the city walls on the bank of the Drava. Before the Italian fortification builders reinforced the walls of Maribor in the 16th century, two round defensive towers stood on their southern part: the predecessor of the present Jewish Tower and, on the site of the present Water Tower, a round tower called Smodniški.
