Phan Thiet Water Tower
Tháp nước Phan Thiết
A four-story water tower designed by the French in the 1930s, a symbol of Phan Thiet. It stands by the Cà Ty River and is especially striking when lit up at night.
Phan Thiet Water Tower was built between 1928 and 1934 and is said to have been designed by a Laotian prince. The tower has four stories and an octagonal plan, topped with a Vietnamese-style roof, blending Eastern and French decorative styles. It is a landmark of the Binh Thuan area and a postcard image. The tower stands in a small park by the Cà Ty River, surrounded by the old town of Phan Thiet. In the evening, many fishing boats and food stalls line the riverbank, and the tower lights up at night. The exterior can be viewed free of charge, and the interior is not open to visitors. It is a good stop on the way from Mui Ne to downtown Phan Thiet and can be combined on foot with Van Thuy Tu and Duc Thanh School.
