Darius I,&nbsp;who was&nbsp;the third Achaemenid king, ordered the construction of a large palace in the mountains near an area in Iran called Marvdasht. However, the process of building the mansions and&nbsp;large&nbsp;monumental statues of Persepolis took a very long time to finish, therefore,&nbsp;the construction was continued&nbsp;during the reign of his successors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, this structure was known as Pars, which meant the City of The Persians. The Greeks called it Persepolis, meaning The Persian City in Greek. During the Sassanid era, this structure&nbsp;was&nbsp;given&nbsp;the name of&nbsp;\u201cSad Sotun,\u201d which means \u201cA hundred columns,\u201d because of the long-standing columns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the Islamic period, Persepolis was called A Thousand Pillars and Forty Minarets.&nbsp;Several hundreds of years later, after the invasion of the Arabs, passers saw the carved images of the royal throne in Persepolis ruins, and because of their inability to read the cuneiform inscriptions carved on the stones, they attributed it to Jamshid, a mythical king of Persia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture.webp\" alt=\"Persepolis Architecture\" class=\"wp-image-4758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture.webp 800w, https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/matinabad.com\/en\/matcont\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Persepolis-Architecture-705x529.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Persepolis Architecture Style<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Years later, when archaeologists read the cuneiform on the inscriptions, they found that the name on the inscriptions was Persians or the Achaemenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Persepolis_City_Architecture\"><\/span>Persepolis City Architecture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Persepolis is one of the&nbsp;largest&nbsp;historical buildings in the world.
