Did you see the link I posted where you can see a lake on Mars (liquid water, not water ice)? If it is warm enough for Mars to have lakes and plant life then we really need to send astronauts to Mars. If there are artificial structures there we need to investigate those, too!

Temperatures on Mars range from -200 on cold nights to around -20 on the hottest days.

The is occasionally liquid water on Mars, but its transitory. There are no permanent standing water bodies on Mars. There are no known artificial structures. Interestingly enough, the Phobos-as-artificial idea was first floated by the late Carl Sagan I think. But there’s nothing to it. Phobos is an irregular rock, probably a former asteroid. Mars has two apparently captured Moons — there’s a mystery worth investigating!
