Kolar Ab Anbar is a Safavid-era water storage structure located in Meybod County, Iran, constructed of adobe and brick in keeping with traditional Persian architectural practices. As an ab anbar—a type of underground or semi-underground reservoir designed to preserve water in arid climates—the building exemplifies the ingenious hydraulic engineering characteristic of Safavid architecture. Recognized as part of Iran's national heritage, the structure reflects the cultural and practical priorities of its period, when such facilities were essential to settlement in desert regions.
