The Žlutý kopec Water Tanks are three underground technical monuments dating from 1874, 1894 and 1917, hidden beneath a park in Brno's Staré Brno district. Two brick tanks were designed by London builder Thomas Docwry; the third is made of concrete. The complex supplied Brno with drinking water until 1997, was listed as a cultural monument in 2019, and was gradually opened to the public. Visitors can explore the tanks individually, on guided tours, or during cultural events organised by TIC Brno.
