A tourist guide to Shushtar watermills, historical water structures From the Achaemenid to the Sassanid eras, they were built to make more use of water
Hello friends, today I want to introduce you to Shushtar water mills.
My husband and I went to this city to see these historical structures, which are very old
The Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System, also known as the Shushtar Historical Water Structures,
is an interconnected collection of 13 historical monuments.
In the north of Khuzestan, there is a city called Shushtar, which is only 63 kilometers away from Dezful.
The city is known for its waterfalls and water structures and welcomes many tourists every year
including bridges, dams, mills, waterfalls, hand-drawn canals, and massive water tunnels.
These 13 works work as a single hydraulic system and work in relation to each other and were built from the Achaemenid to Sassanid periods to make more use of water.
This area has been referred to as the largest industrial complex before the Industrial Revolution
This structure consists of bridges, dams, waterfalls, canals, and large tunnels that are connected to each other in a very harmonious and orderly manner and have the role of directing water. But today, only a part of it remains.
We really enjoyed seeing this historical and beautiful area, the huge volume of water that circulates dissipates a certain energy in the air,
and interestingly, these structures are located in the middle of the city, and the houses that inhabit it can still be seen around it at the top of the structure, and they have a good view.
Here you can see it on google map :

What a wonderful visit the place is really amazing ❤️🙏
Incredible technology to save water
This place is really amazing, especially the small river in this place is very beautiful and this place looks quite old. I really like it.
The place looks amazing. There are better pictures than others. I bet it is more beautiful in reality. Isn't it?
