Foișorul de Foc

Foișorul de Foc (literally The Fire Tower) is a 42 metres (138 feet) high building in Bucharest, Romania, between Obor, Calea Moșilor, and Nerva-Traian.

In September 2024, the museum was reopened, the building having undergone restoration, starting from 2021.

The plans were made by George Mandrea, back then the chief-architect of Bucharest.

[citation needed] Foișorul de Foc had a double role, as it was also designed to be a water tower, too.

[citation needed] Foișorul de Foc was used by the firefighters until 1935, when it became ineffective, as more and more high-rise buildings were built in Bucharest, and the introduction of the telephone reduced the need for a watchtower.
