IRAN Takht-e Jamshid - Perspolis | تخت جمشید

The ruins of the Takht-e Jamshid are situated in southwestern Iran, about 60 kilometers northeast of Shiraz, at the foot of Kuh-e Rahmat (Mountain of Mercy). To visit the monument, it is best to rent a car, to visit the Pasargadae, Naqsh-e Rostam, Naqsh-e Rajab, and Takht-e Jamshid on the same day.
According to historical evidence, the Takht-e Jamshid was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire during 550-350 BC, and it was occupied seasonally. The most function of this complex was during Norouz (Iranian New Year Festival).
The French archaeologist, Andre Godard, believed that Cyrus the Great chose the site, but it was Darius 1st who built the terrace and palaces. It is said that in 519 BC, the construction of a broad stairway started which was initially planned to be the main entrance to the main terrace.

Alexander the Great, in 330 BC, sent the main force of his army to Takht-e Jamshid by the Royal Road. He outflanked and destroyed the defenders after 30 days and after several months, he allowed his troops to loot the Takht-e Jamshid. Many historians believe that, while Alexander’s army celebrated their victory with a symposium, they decided to take revenge against the Persians. Therefore, they put fire on the monument.
Till 316 BCE Takht-e Jamshid was still the capital of Persia as a province of the Macedonian Empire. Under the Seleucid Kingdom, the city gradually declined and lost its ancient glory.
