پرسپولیس

Also Known As
Persepolis
Ancient Iranian city, northeast of modern Shīraz. It was built in a remote and mountainous area during the reign of Dariush I, who made it the ceremonial capital of Persia, replacing Pasargadae. In 330 BC Alexander plundered the city and burned it. The city's ruins cover an extensive area and comprise a number of colossal buildings, including palaces of early Persian kings, a great staircase, an audience hall, and a treasury.
