Seyyed Ali Ab Anbar is a Qajar-era water cistern located in Nain County, Iran, constructed from brick and mortar. Rising 12.5 meters in height, the structure exemplifies traditional Persian water storage architecture of its period. The ab anbar, a building type designed to preserve water in arid climates through insulation and underground or semi-subterranean design, reflects the sophisticated hydraulic engineering practices of the Qajar dynasty. Designated as an Iranian National Heritage site, it remains a significant cultural property documenting historical approaches to water management in central Iran.
