Ghalwar is a village located four kilometers west
of the Old City of Herat on the ancient route that
starts at the Iraqi Gate of the Old City and heads
westwards towards Kohsan and Nishapur. The center of the village, also known as Hauz-i-Karbas
(weaver’s cistern), is 112 meters on the north
side of the present road towards Zindajan and is
located on the crossroads of an ancient route
linking it to villages like Azadan, where the 14th
century complex of Abul-Walid exists. The geographic coordinates for the Hauz-i-Karbas are:
34º21’N 62º09’E.
