Once a magnificent city and Persia's new capital during the reign of Darius I and his son Xerxes I in the 5th and 6th centuries BC, Persepolis now stands as an archaeological site that echoes with ancient tales. The image captures the remnants of this once-thriving metropolis, which fell victim to Alexander the Great's conquest in 330 BC. The sharp details and vibrant colors bring to life the grandeur that was once Persia's pride.
