Iran's Unmissable Landmarks

Iran’s architectural and natural heritage spans millennia, from the Achaemenid ruins of Persepolis and the rock-cut royal tombs of Naqsh-e Rustam to the 17th-century Safavid splendor of Isfahan’s Ali Qapu Palace. This collection features the Bisotun Inscription, a trilingual relief crucial to deciphering cuneiform, and the remote Sasanian site of Takht-e Soleyman. Natural landmarks include the wind-sculpted kalouts of the Lut Desert and the extensive plant collections of the National Botanical Garden in Tehran.
