1106 IR - Pasargadae (2004)

Pasargadae was the first dynastic capital of the Achaemenid Empire, founded by Cyrus II the Great, in Pars, homeland of the Persians, in the 6th century BC. Its palaces, gardens and the mausoleum of Cyrus are outstanding examples of the first phase of royal Achaemenid art and architecture and exceptional testimonies of Persian civilization. Particularly noteworthy vestiges in the 160-ha site include: the Mausoleum of Cyrus II; Tall-e Takht, a fortified terrace; and a royal ensemble of gatehouse, audience hall, residential palace and gardens. Pasargadae was the capital of the first great multicultural empire in Western Asia. Spanning the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt to the Hindus River, it is considered to be the first empire that respected the cultural diversity of its different peoples. This was reflected in Achaemenid architecture, a synthetic representation of different cultures.

帕萨尔加德

帕萨尔加德是阿契美尼德帝国第一个朝代的首都,由赛勒斯二世(Cyrus II)于公元前6世纪在波斯人的土地上建造而成。它的宫殿、花园和赛勒斯的陵墓都突出反映了皇家艺术和建筑特色,以及波斯人的文明程度。160公顷的遗址包括:赛勒斯二世的陵墓、防御看台塔勒塔克、皇家门楼建筑、谒见厅、寝宫和花园。帕萨尔加德是西亚第一个多文化帝国的首都,其疆域从地中海东部、埃及延伸到印度河地区,被认为是第一个尊重其子民文化多样性的帝国。从阿契美尼德的建筑可反映出其对不同文化的融会贯通。
