Vukovar water tower shot from below shows the entire damaged structure symbol of the martyr city

The Vukovar water tower photographed from below on a blue sky day, allowing appreciation of the entire damaged structure. Standing 50 meters tall, the tower was built in 1968 and became a priority target of Serbian artillery during the 1991 siege for its strategic value as an observation point. The holes dotting the brick and concrete structure are visible even from great distances. The decision not to restore it but to preserve it in its ruined state has transformed the tower into Vukovar's main symbol, an icon of Croatian resistance and a warning against the horrors of war.
