Part of the Persian empire, the city was situated in southern Iran. Here you can enjoy ornamental gardens that are so amazing a special word has been invented for them – ‘paradise’. If you can get access, there’s a spectacular citadel that rises above the main city. You can reach it via large staircases, and once inside you’ll discover the splendour of carved reliefs like this one, columned halls and courtyards. Read more in our curator’s historical city travel guide. Link in bio. Where would you like to visit next? 🔎 Limestone relief fragment showing a seated male sphinx.
