Montmartre Water Tower
The Montmartre Water Tower is a striking 43-metre neo-Byzantine structure perched on the Butte Montmartre, its white concrete façade punctuated by crenellated cornices and arcades that echo the nearby Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Built in 1927 to bring reliable water pressure to the highest parts of the hill, it remains fully operational—and doubles as a broadcast antenna for community radio stations. For visitors, it is one of Montmartre's most photogenic and surprising landmarks: a working piece of Parisian infrastructure disguised as a miniature fortress.
