Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, was founded in 518 BCE by King Darius I. It was constructed on a large terrace overlooking the plain of Marvdasht in present-day Iran. The site served as a symbol of the empire's grandeur and a center for various ceremonial events. Construction continued under subsequent rulers, including Xerxes and Artaxerxes.
