Naqsh-e Rostam

Nagš-e-Rostam, Iran

Naqsh-e Rostam is a historical landmark that connects the modern and ancient worlds, and it is tucked away in Iran's southwest. This spectacular archaeological site, which serves as the royal necropolis of the Achaemenid Empire, is frequently overshadowed by the more famous Persepolis nearby. A collection of ancient Iranian rock reliefs are cut into the face of the mountain, and the mountain contains the final resting place of four Achaemenid kings, notably King Darius the Great and his son, Xerxes. This site is of great significance to the history of Iran and to Iranians, as it contains various archeological sites carved into the rock wall through time for more than a millennium, from the Elamites and Achaemenids to the Sassanids.
