    Water Tower (1927) + Old Well (1759) – Altrip 🚴‍♂️

    What the Eiffel Tower is to Parisians, the water tower is to Altrip residents. This modern landmark in the ancient Roman village of Alta Ripa was inaugurated on August 27, 1927. The tower is the tallest building in the village. Its original function is not immediately apparent, partly due to the rather unusual fact that it is equipped with both a clock and bells.

    The approximately 40-meter-high, plastered tower is crowned by a lantern with two bells. Built on an almost square floor plan, it was built in 1926 with five floors and over 90 steps, including a clock floor. The copper water reservoir holds 150 cubic meters at a height of 25 meters. The tower was then, and still is, the tallest building in the municipality. 🚴‍♂️

    An old draw well from 1759 stands in the immediate vicinity of the water tower in front of Altrip's town hall. 🚴‍♂️
