A monumental fire sanctuary known as
Ka`be-e-Zardosht stands facing the great vertical cliff at Naghsh-e-Rostam
carved with four Achaemenian tombs of Darius I and three of this
successors. From a distance four cuttings into the rock face are visible
,marking the tombs which represent the facade of a palace as though fronted
by a porch supported by four columnswith typically Achaemenid bull capitals.
Another important feature of Naghsh-e-Rostam is a series of eight
Sassanian rock-reliefs , some of the greatest ever created , on the lower
levels of the cliffs.
