The ancient city of Persepolis is in ruins nowadays, but it makes for probably the most attractive sight of Iran.
Construction of Persepolis started in 520 BCE by Darius I, and was never completely finished. In the end it was used as a residence by later kings, and some of them were also buried here. Although the palaces stand on a platform, the complex has been covered by earth for many centuries which has helped greatly for its conservation - only after Persepolis had been destroyed by first Alexander the Great and others. The Greeks gave it it's name, which literally means Persian city, or destroyed city.
