Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Todos os anos, mais de 500 000 visitantes vêm aqui para admirar a monumental escadaria com 111 degraus. Na construção deste complexo cerimonial, foram utilizados enormes 125 000 blocos de pedra, alguns dos quais pesam até 40 toneladas.
Destaques: Sabia que os reis persas recebiam aqui presentes de todas as nações do império durante o Ano Novo e que 23 delegações diferentes estão representadas nos relevos? Ao pôr do sol, os raios incidem exatamente sobre o Portal de Todas as Nações, criando um jogo teatral de luz e sombra sobre os relevos de pedra milenares.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
