Can Mario Tower, an ancient water tank which was used by cork company Miquel, Vincke & Meyer, is an iron structure in a helical form, based on a large stone, which is the most prominent symbol of the Palafrugell skyline. Situated between Cork Museum and Art Foundation Vila-Casas, in a new designed square, the tower is now a viewpoint open to visitors that also offers a small exhibition in the form of an attractive tunnel, about the importance of water and cork industry in the village.
