This structure definitely looks European, that's because its history dates back when the idea was to commemorate the installation of the water system by Spanish Engineer Don Francisco Carriedo of the Department of Waterworks in 1884.
Although the one you see right now is a reproduction, it's still maintained its
authentic design.
Don't know why but a closer look at its detail reminded me of Savage Garden's

That's true it does have that European style. There is too much to see and enjoy in Manila that we really don't pay too much attention to.
