Persepolis, Iran

Persepolis, located in Iran, is an ancient and astonishing archaeological site that was founded by Darius the Great around 518 B.C and once served as the ceremonial capital of the mighty Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BCE). It was captured by Alexander the Great in 331-330 B.C. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is legendary for its magnificent ruins and Achaemenid architecture, characterised by grand palaces, intricate carvings and towering columns. Strolling through Persepolis, you'll find yourself transported through time, wandering among the remains of its majestic past, marvelling at the well-preserved relics.
