Long before it became a legendary ruin, Persepolis was built to show the power of an empire.
In the 6th century BCE, Darius I ordered the construction of a magnificent ceremonial capital filled with towering columns, massive stairways, and grand palaces designed to impress the world.
For nearly two centuries, Persepolis stood as a symbol of the vast Persian Empire.
Then a young conqueror arrived—Alexander the Great—and one dramatic night changed the fate of the city forever.
What really happened to one of the greatest cities of the ancient world?
