Iranian National Heritage Palace

Add to collection Suggest a change

Ghasre Abu-Nasr, Ancient palace ruins in Shiraz, Iran.

The stone and brick remains of Ghasre Abu-Nasr stand on a hilltop six kilometers southeast of central Shiraz, overlooking the surrounding territory.

The palace complex, initially constructed during the Parthian period, maintained its strategic significance through the Sassanid Empire and the early Islamic era.

Archaeological excavations at Ghasre Abu-Nasr have revealed coins and artifacts from multiple periods, including Achaemenid, Seleucid, Parthian, and Sassanid civilizations.

The archaeological site received official recognition as Iranian National Heritage in 1931, with registration number 13 in the national preservation database.

The settlement's original name was Takht-e Sulayman, meaning Throne of Solomon, before Muslims renamed it Abu-Nasr, translating to Father of Victory.
