Liliana Zaharia ’Moara lui Assan (Assan’s mill)’
Moara lui Assan este prima moara industriala
din Bucuresti ce functiona pe baza
unui motor cu vapori de apa . Aceasta
a fost cosntruita in anul 1853, in zona
Obor-Lizeanu, de catre Gheorghe Assan si
Ioan Martinovici, care aveau deja deschise
in oras cateva bacanii. Moara asigura
aprovizionarea cu faina a orasului atunci
cand Dambovita si lacul Colentina inghetat,
iar morile cu apa nu mai erau functionale.
Mai tarziu, in afara comertului cu faina, s-a
produs ulei vegetal, lacuri, culori. In prezent,
moara este considerata monument istoric.
Arhitectura silozului este impresionanta,
avand aerul unei cetati medievale, cu
diverse ornamente si chiar 2 turnuri. La
vremea construirii acesteia, era cea mai
inalta cladire din Bucuresti. Desi acum este
ascunsa printre blocurile de tip comunist,
zona respectiva este foarte vasta iar ruinele
ce se afla intr-o stare de degradare sunt
neobisnuite din punct de vedere vizual.
Desi este un monument istoric, nu este si
un punct turistic si foarte putini locuitori ai
orasului cunosc acest loc.
