Façade of the first Canal de Isabel II water tower
This water tower, made from stone, brick and iron, supported a tank that is no longer in use. Built between 1907 and 1911 by engineers Luis Moya Idígoras and Ramón Aguinaga, it was a complex work of engineering that could hold over 58,000 cubic metres of water. The tower now houses Sala Canal de Isabel II, an exhibition space specialising in photography which is run by the regional government of Madrid.
