Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Cada año la visitan más de 500 000 visitantes para admirar la monumental escalinata de 111 escalones. En la construcción de este complejo ceremonial se utilizaron la impresionante cifra de 125 000 bloques de piedra, algunos de los cuales pesan hasta 40 toneladas.
Destacados: ¿Sabías que los reyes persas recibían aquí los regalos de todos los pueblos del imperio durante el Año Nuevo y que en los relieves aparecen representadas 23 delegaciones diferentes? Al atardecer, los rayos inciden justo en la Puerta de Todas las Naciones, creando un juego teatral de luz y sombra sobre los milenarios relieves de piedra.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear a cap and comfortable footwear, the site has almost no shade and you will walk several kilometers over uneven stone blocks.
- The best photos of the Apadana Palace and the relief staircases are taken shortly after sunrise, when the light is softest and the site is still empty.
- Do not limit yourself to the main terrace, detour to the rock tomb of Artaxerxes II at the edge of the site, where there are significantly fewer tourists.
- Bring enough water and light snacks with you, the buffet at the site has a limited selection and higher prices.
