Qadamgah, Archaeological site in Fars Province, Iran

The monument features three platforms carved into limestone rock, with rear walls containing rectangular cavities and staircases connecting different levels of the structure.

The structure was discovered in 1881 by Captain H. L. Wells from the Royal Engineers, who documented its initial measurements and architectural features.

Ancient cuneiform tablets from Persepolis Administrative Archives mention this location, suggesting its importance during the Achaemenid period of Persian civilization.

The structure measures 20.30 meters in length, 13.50 meters in width, and 16.50 meters in height, with its lower terrace positioned 3 meters above ground level.

A dry spring and pond at the bottom of the monument indicate its possible religious function connected to water rituals in ancient Persian traditions.
