| Si o Se Pol Bridge | |
| The Si-o-Se Pol Bridge, also known as the "Bridge of 33 Arches," is one of the most iconic landmarks in Isfahan, Iran. This historic bridge stretches across the Zayanderud River and was built in the early 17th century during the Safavid dynasty under the reign of Shah Abbas I. The bridge’s name, Si-o-Se Pol, translates to "33 Bridge" in Farsi, referencing its 33 magnificent stone arches. | |
| Pasargadae | |
| Pasargadae was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great (559–530 BC), who ordered its construction. Today it is an archaeological site located just north of the town of Madar-e-Soleyman and about 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the northeast of the modern city of Shiraz. A limestone tomb there is believed to be that of Cyrus the Great. | |
