General view Naqsh-i Rustam

Close-by to Persepolis is the necropolis or burial ground of the Achaemenid kings. In rock-cut tombs high on the cliff face, famous Achaemenid kings such as Darius and Xerxes created their final resting places. Naqsh-i Rustam is an evocative site that recalls the most famous personalities of the Persian Empire.
