The "Parthian style" (شیوه معماری پارتی) is a style (sabk) of historical Iranian architecture.
This style of architecture includes designs from the Seleucid, Parthian, and Sassanid eras, reaching its apex of development by the Sassanid period.
Examples of this style are Nysa, Anahita Temple[1], Khorheh, Hatra, the Ctesiphon vault of Kasra, Bishapur, and the Palace of Ardashir in Ardeshir Khwarreh (Firouzabad).
