The Vukovar Water Tower was built from 1963 to 1968 on Vukovar’s highest point, "Najpar Garden", what was then known as a public garden and an excursion site at the entrance to the settlement Mitnica. This tower stands tall at 156.33 meters (513 ft) above sea level and 50.33 meters (165 ft) above ground level.
During the Homeland War and the 87-day siege of Vukovar, it suffered 640 intentional missile attacks, nonetheless, it stood tall defying all attempts of destruction.
In 1991, during the siege of Vukovar, the enemy persistently targeted the Croatian flag. However, every night the defenders placed a new flag on the top of the water tower, thus giving the people of Vukovar new hope and additional strength every morning.
