🎧 Listen to Introduction
The eight archaeological sites are located in three geographical areas in the southeastern Fars Province: Firuzabad, Bishapur and Sarvistan. Fortifications, palaces and urban planning date from the early and late Sassanian Empire, which spanned the region from 224 to 658 AD. The sites include the capital built by the founder of the dynasty, Ardashir Papakhan, as well as cities and architectural structures built by his successor, Shapur I. The archaeological landscape reflects an optimal use of the natural terrain and bears witness to the influence of Achaemenid and Parthian cultural traditions, as well as Roman art, which had a significant impact on the architecture of the Islamic era.
