Persepolis

Persepolis (Pārsa) or as locals name Takhte Jamshid, the throne of Jamshid the mythological king of Persia, was founded by Darius I and later King Xerxes in 518 B.C. It is situated 60 km northeast of the city of Shiraz in Fars Province, Iran. The earliest remains of the formal capital of the Achaemenid Empire date back to 515 BCE. It exemplifies the Achaemenid style of architecture. UNESCO declared the ruins of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979. It was built on an immense half-artificial, half-natural terrace. Persepolis served as the ceremonial capital and also the summer residence of the Achaemenid emperors.  The king of kings created an impressive palace complex inspired by Mesopotamian models. The importance and quality of the monumental ruins being still impressive make it a unique archaeological site.
