In the final days of the Iranian year, as winter’s last whispers lingered in the air, the heavens opened above Persepolis, bathing the ancient stones in a gentle, life-giving rain.
The downpour, soft yet insistent, transformed the timeless ruins into a canvas of ethereal beauty, where history and nature intertwined in a delicate dance before the eyes of the tourists.
Persepolis, the crown jewel of Iran’s cultural heritage and a testament to the grandeur of the Achaemenid Empire over 2500 years ago, is located in the southern province of Fars.
