Persepolis

Persepolis embodies the greatness of the Persian Empire and is a symbol of Iran all over the world. Persepolis was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. The ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire was built in 515 BCE by Dariush the Great (the third Achaemenid king) and the world’s greatest archaeological sites. It’s a very good example of Persian architecture of that time. Gigantic sculpted phoenixes and winged bulls seem to be eternal guardians of this splendid palatial complex. Among the ruins, visitors can listen to the stories recalled by the beautiful friezes covering the walls. They share the secrets of this royal city, from ceremonies and parties to war, fear, terror, and probably the king’s last supper. It’s located in Shiraz city.
