Vodni stolp, Maribor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vodni stolp (Water Tower) is a vinoteka in the city of Maribor in Slovenia.[1] Vodni stolp was built in 1555 when the defense fortifications of the city against the Turkish raids were extended to include Lent.[2] At present, it houses a wine shop which specializes in top quality Slovenian wines.[2] It is Slovenia's oldest vinoteka situated in the center of Maribor.[3] The shop is on the ground floor.[3] At the top floor of the Vodni Stolp is a large round hall with a high ceiling somehow reminiscent of a medieval banquet hall which is dedicated entirely to wine tasting.[3]
