Wonders of Historical Architecture in Iran: Persepolis, Shiraz

Persepolis was the capital of the Persian Achaemenid Empire from the reign of Darius I (the Great, r. 522-486 BCE) until its destruction in 330 BCE. Its name comes from the Greek Persespolis (Persian City), but the Persians knew it as Parsa (City of the Persians). Construction began between 518-515 BCE under Darius I who wanted a fresh start for Persian government administration and moved the capital from Pasargadae (the capital established by Cyrus the Great, r. c. 550-530 BCE). The city was located in a remote region in the mountains, however, making travel there difficult in the rainy season of the Persian winter, so the administration of the Achaemenid Empire was also overseen from Ecbatana, Babylon, and Susa. Persepolis was a spring/summer royal residence and seems to have been intended as a ceremonial center where representatives of subject states came to pay respects to the king.
