Current Goal

Go from Örebro in Sweden, to the water tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and then back again, preferably having its picture taken with other water towers around the world.

About This Item

The two mushrooms

In Örebro you can find "Svampen" ("The mushroom"), one of the worlds most visited water towers.
When Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia visited Örebro he was so overcome over Svampen that he wanted his own. And that is why a copy (33% larger than the original!) of the Örebro water tower is located in Riyadh.

The original in Örebro was built in 1956-57 and is quite impressing. It measures 58 meters above ground and has a diameter of 45.5 meters. Besides housing 9000 cubic meters of water, it also contains a restaurant and a conference center!
