I assure you it’s not though. This is in the middle of the city.
Edit: it’s this Gower, the article has a daylight picture. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Reyers
interestingly, I can’t find any source that says why it’s shape like that. Aparently it was always planned to be a radio tower.
there’s no water tower functionality or restaurant inside. it’s just… like that.
but to answer the question: they rarely are saucer shaped. Most of them are either just antennas, or have some slimmer feature at the top like a sphere or similar

Seems you’re right, its a communications tower. Saucer is for the view in any case.

News stations will hang out in towers like that too for traffic/weather.
Do you know of an example of one like that? With a link?
