In traditional Persian architecture, a howz (pool) is a centrally positioned symmetrical axis pool.
If in a sahn of a mosque, it is used for performing ablutions. If in a traditional house or private courtyard, it is used for bathing, aesthetics or both.
The howz is an essential element of the Persian garden.
