Persépolis, Iran. Ancient Center of Power
Description
Founded by Darius I in 518 B.C., Persépolis—the capital of the Achaemenid Empire—was built on an immense half-artificial, half-natural terrace where the king of kings constructed an impressive palace complex inspired by Mesopotamian models. The importance and quality of its monumental ruins make it a unique archaeological site.
