The Mortaz Ali Well is a multi-functional Safavid structure in Shiraz, Fars Province, Iran, combining domestic, hydraulic, and religious functions within a single site. Built from rubble and mortar in the architectural tradition of the Safavid period, the complex served as a house, water well, and shrine. Today recognized as an Iranian National Heritage site, it represents an important example of how utility and spiritual practice were integrated into vernacular architecture of historical Iran.
