Being the place for one of the cradles of civilization, the Middle East is rich in history and one city in this region that’s glorious in its ruins is Susa in Iran. It’s mentioned in the Bible several times, dating back to the 5th century BC.
One of the highlights of this ancient city is Ardeshir’s Palace, located along the Shavur River in the lower Zagros Mountains. Another place of interest in Susa is the Susa cemetery, which features a temple on a monumental platform and a myriad of ceramic vessels placed in graves as love offerings.
