We study static vortex type solutions of pure gravity for $D \geq 4+1 $.Non-singular vortex solutions can be obtained by considering periodicKaluza-Klein monopoles. We also show that away from the center of the vorticesthe space is described by the gravitational instantons derived from minimalsurfaces.Comment: 9 pages, typos corrected, to appear in JHE
