Considered to be Rome's signature landmark, the Clocktower functioned as a water reservoir upon its construction in 1871. The water tower was built with ten sheets of iron provided by James Noble's foundry and had a capacity of 250,000 gallons. In 1995 a musuem within the Clocktower opened to the public.
