Staroměstská vodárenská věž
Czechia
You find the tower at the end of Novotného lávka, the short spit of the Old Town that juts into the Vltava on its right bank, a few steps from Charles Bridge. It stands beside the building that now houses the Bedřich Smetana Museum, and the two belong together: both were once part of the Old Town waterworks. The museum building's façades were designed by Antonín Wiehl, with sgraffito decoration after designs by Mikoláš Aleš, František Ženíšek and Jan Koula, so before you look up at the tower itself, look at the painted walls beside it.
