Fact about Persepolis/Parsa (The City of Persians)

In Contemporary Persian is Takht-e Jamshid (Throne of Jamshid), Persepolis area is approximately 125000sqm; Material used often grey limestone and grey marble; It was used for a majestic atmosphere (ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire), events and it is also military quarters, the Treasury, Reception Halls, Occasional houses for the King; Less than 10km there are 2 archeological sites that has been estimated for approx 150 years in city of Parse & Estakhr; Persepolis architecture noted for wooden columns, most of architects resorted to stone when the largest cedars in Lebanon or Teak trees of India didnt fulfill the required sizes. Column and capitals made out of stone, it is also applied for wooden column; It is noted for the Great Stairway, the Gate of Nations (Xerxes the Great), the Apadana Palace of Darius, the Tripylon Hall, and Tachara Palace of Darius, The Hadish Palace of Xerxes, The Palace of Artaxerxes III, The Imperial Treasury, The Royal Stables, and The Chariot House.
