Persepolis literally meaning "the Persian city", was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BC). The earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BC. It exemplifies the Achaemenid style of architecture. UNESCO declared the ruins of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.

Artistically cut stones used to be joined together using lead clips to make them resistant to earthquakes. Metal clips must be replaced or more cracks in the stones would appear over time.
It is speculated that in this wonderful carving the lion and the cow are symbols of spring and winter. The lion conquers over the cow as the first day of spring (Nowruz ) emerges.

A fascinating royal resting place of 4 Achamenid Kings. Look for a bas-relief of a man standing with folded arms. It is the oldest one among the stone carvings from 1250 BC, Ilamite Period. - Karan Jami
