The Mehriz Gate Ab Anbar is a historic underground water cistern in Yazd County, Iran, exemplifying the ingenious hydraulic architecture of the Safavid period. Constructed from brick and mortar, this ab anbar—a traditional Persian structure designed to store and cool water in arid climates—represents both the practical engineering and architectural refinement characteristic of Safavid building practices. Designated as an Iranian national heritage site, the structure reflects the vital role such water systems played in sustaining settlements across Iran's desert regions.
