The Pasargadae landscape, the first capital city in the ancient Persia, situates in the northeast of the city at a distance of 140 Km. On the way to get to this exceptional monument, the magnificent Persepolis (the capital of the Achaemenid empire), Naqsh-e-Rostam (remained from both the Achaemenid and Sassanid periods) and Naqsh-e-Rajab (dated back to the early Sassanid era) are awaiting you. Pasargadae is always among the tourists’ top picks when they travel to Shiraz. Manuel Bandeira, famous Brazilian poet, has written a poem “vou-me embora pra Pasárgada” (I’m going away to Pasargadae). The poem is inspired by the history of Pasargadae. This pictures how this monument grabs everyone’s attention.
