Rreth

Fakte të shpejta: The octagonal tower features vibrant red bricks that stand out along the Drava river. Its thick walls once guarded the city's medieval defenses and now offer panoramic views from the top.

Pikat kryesore: Inside, the machine hall still houses giant water-lifting wheels powered by the river current, a unique sight rarely seen in modern urban settings. The tower’s location by the lively riverside allows visitors to witness the blend of nature and history up close.

Këshilla të brendshme

Wear comfortable shoes for the riverbank paths and some light climbing inside.
Best photos come from the western side at sunset when the red bricks glow warmly.
Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter experience, as locals come out to stroll here.
Skip the busy festival days unless you enjoy crowds and street performances.
