Tõnismägi Water Tower and Underground World
Tõnismägi’s water tower and technical rooms inspire underground-city tales, though the infrastructure had practical purposes.
A hilltop district needs water supply, connections and technical spaces like any other part of a city. A water tower and structures below ground can look mysterious from outside. Combining cellars, pipes and shelter stories from different periods easily creates the image of one hidden city. Such a continuous network cannot be claimed without plans and investigation. The history of infrastructure is worth understanding without an imaginary tunnel.
