Rostam Giv Ab Anbar is a traditional ice house located in Yazd County, Iran, representing the Pahlavi architectural style. Built from brick and saruj (a mortar-based material), this structure exemplifies the ingenious water-storage and cooling systems developed in arid Persian regions. Designated as an Iranian National Heritage site, the ab anbar reflects both the practical engineering and cultural significance of such repositories in pre-modern Iranian architecture.
