Shushtar

Shushtar

Shushtar is a city in the southwest part of Iran, about 90 Km from Ahvaz. The city is famous due to the historical hydraulic system which dates back to the Achaemenid Period in the 5th century when Darius the Great was the ruler of the Persia Empire. 

The entire system with all the items included in it was registered as a World Heritage Site of UNESCO in 2009 and has been referring to as a “masterpiece of creative genius” by UNESCO. 

The main reason for constructing this amazing system was the efficient use of water and sharing the volume of water into the different areas of Shushtar. Even after centuries, some part of the hydraulic system is still working.
