Karbalaei Abbas Saqqakhaneh is a Qajar-era saqqakhaneh—a traditional public water distribution facility—located in District 11 of Tehran. Constructed of brick and mortar with decorative tilework characteristic of Qajar architecture, the building served the practical civic function of providing water to the urban population while embodying the period's aesthetic conventions. Recognized as an Iranian National Heritage site, it represents a significant example of utilitarian architecture from nineteenth-century Iran that combined essential municipal service with architectural refinement.
