Sassanid Archaeological Landscape of Fars Region, Archaeological site complex in Fars Province, Iran

The Sassanid Archaeological Landscape spans 639 hectares across eight distinct locations featuring ancient fortresses, palaces, and ceremonial structures in southeastern Iran.

The archaeological complex preserves structures from the Sassanid Empire period between 224 and 651 CE, when the region functioned as a central hub of power.

The sites of Bishapur and Sarvestan contain architectural elements that demonstrate the fusion of Persian construction techniques with neighboring civilizations' influences.

Visitors can access the archaeological sites through guided tours departing from Shiraz, with spring and autumn offering moderate temperatures for exploration.

The Victory Relief of Ardashir in Firuzabad presents stone carvings depicting military victories through detailed sculptures measuring over twenty meters in length.
