Welcome to the Trnava region, where you meet one of the most interesting monuments of our city - water, artificial storage tank. You are now facing this majestic element of infrastructure, which prides itself on its historical and architectural significance. This basin was created in 1942-1946. Its construction was started in 1942 under the design of Slovak architect Emil Belluš and completed in 1946. The aim was to ensure a smooth supply of water to the urban network, thus becoming an important part of the Trnava infrastructure and the water reservoir for the whole place. The architect of this column waterhouse is characterized by its functionality and integration into the landscape. Look up on its impressive shape, which does not ensure effective water management, but is also visually surprising. Its position and design are examples of engineering excellence and architectural originality. The water is proud of its unique ability to intervene in landscapes, making it an integral part of the city's panorama. Although we have limited information on specific individuals associated with its origin, it is important to realise that this project was only possible thanks to the collective work and efforts of many unknown engineers and workers. Their contribution to the development of the site is invaluable. Its origin during the Second World War gives its existence even greater significance. During this turbulent period, ensuring access to drinking water was an invaluable asset for the city and its inhabitants. I invite this site to understand how important infrastructure can be not only a functional part of the site, but also an artificial work that enriches our environment. As you approach the water, let your ears be filled with noise of water and observe how these waters become a vital part of everyday existence. Thank you for listening attentively. I hope this guide has impressed you and encouraged you to discover further Trnava and its historical gems.
