Long before it became a legendary ruin, Persepolis was built to
show the power of an empire.

In the 6th century BCE, Darius I ordered the construction of a
magnificent ceremonial capital filled with towering columns,
massive stairways, and grand palaces designed to impress the
world.

For nearly two centuries, Persepolis stood as a symbol of the
vast Persian Empire.

Then a young conqueror arrived—Alexander the Great—and one
dramatic night changed the fate of the city forever.

What really happened to one of the greatest cities of the ancient
world?
