TEHRAN -- Amir Chakhmaq Cellar is a historical water storage facility. It plays an important role for the Water Museum in the beautiful city of Yazd.

Under the supervision of Amir Chakhmaq, Nezameddin Jahanshahi ordered to construct the cellar, along with the construction of bazaar, around 12th century C.E.

The cellar has one entrance and 52 steps to reach to the lowest level where a water depot is located. The most important characteristic of the cellar is its buried water in the ground. The entire structure was built of clay and lime. The water reservoir was still in use until 40 years ago in the collection of Amir Chakhmaq Mosque.

Visited by a great number of tourists each day, Amir Chakhmaq Cellar is now a significant part of Water Museum in Yazd.
