Endowed with all forms of landscapes, the beautiful city
of Khorramabad is undoubtedly one of the finest and must-visit tourist
destinations. Khorramabad, the city of beauty, while preserving the inheritance
of its past looks forward to its modern future. As the oldest stone water
reservoir in the world, the remains of Gerdab-e-Sangi dates back to the
Sassanid era, located in the center of the
old city of Khorramabad. This
magnificent circular building made of stone and mortar is
built around a spring to regulate the
water out of the fountain and then transfer it through the channel to various
parts of the ancient city.
The spring has water on almost all days
of the year. The building is
18 meters in diameter with a circumference of 256 square meters. Springs, many mirages, pleasant lakes in the
city center placed this city among one of the most beautiful tourist cities of
Iran.
