Old Towers

These are three utilitarian old towers.
The first one is a firemen 's watch tower, called "Foişorul de foc", as it is now and as it looked in 1929.
It was built in 1890 in order to be used as a watch tower, to spot fires, as it was very tall for that time (it's 42 m tall), but also as a water tower. Unfortunately, due to its height, it never played this second role. The existing water pumps were not powerful enough to fill it.
It was used for fire-spotting until 1935 and then transformed into the Firemen Brigade Museum in 1963.
The second and the third ones are water towers that had different destinies. While the last one, that I particularly liked, was demolished two years ago, the other one was luckier. A supermarket was built near it and, unexpectedly, instead of being taken down after years of neglect, it was renovated and kept as a scenery element.
Three towers, each one with its own fate.
