Farhad Tarash, Rock relief in Bisotun, Iran
The limestone wall spans 200 meters in length and rises 30 meters high, featuring a smoothed surface prepared for ancient inscriptions.
The site was initially prepared during the reign of Darius I, with further modifications made in the 7th century under Khosrow II's direction.
Local traditions connect the site to the Persian tale of Farhad, a skilled architect who carved through mountains to demonstrate his love for princess Shirin.
The location coordinates at 34.388333 latitude and 47.431944 longitude place the relief near other historical structures, including the Behistun Inscription.
Several hundred dressed stone blocks from the Sasanian period remain near the wall, indicating plans for an extensive architectural complex.
