Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran 🇮🇷

Naqsh-e Rostam is an ancient necropolis located in the Fars Province of Iran, near Persepolis. This site holds a series of monumental tombs carved into the cliff face, belonging to Achaemenid kings from the 6th to 4th centuries BC. These impressive rock-cut tombs are adorned with elaborate reliefs depicting scenes of royal power and victory.

The site is not only a testament to the Achaemenid dynasty but also features Sasanian rock reliefs, adding layers of historical significance. The most famous of these reliefs portrays the triumph of Shapur I over the Roman Emperor Valerian. The combination of Achaemenid and Sasanian art makes Naqsh-e Rostam a unique and invaluable historical site.
