The upper sphere which rises to 123 metres above the sea level and completes a full turn every 30 minutes holds a café. The second tower is 147 metres high and serves as a water tower. The third tower houses equipment to illuminate the two larger towers. The towers hold 9,000 cubic metres of water altogether.
