A great patron of the arts, Darius initiates construction on a complex of palaces and buildings at the royal complex of Persepolis (near modern Shiraz in southwestern Iran) around 518 BCE.
Located about fifty miles (eighty kilometers) south of Pasargadae, Persepolis, as was also typical of Assyrian palace complexes, is constructed atop a huge limestone platform that serves to level off the site and provide a secure foundation for its structures.
