Persepolis was one of the five capitals of the Achaemenid Empire (the others were Babylon, Ecbatana, Pasargadae and Susa). It is located about fifty kilometers north of the present city of Shiraz in the Fārs province of present-day Iran.
The term "Persepolis" derives from the ancient Greek Persépolis which means "city of the Persians". Because of the belief among the Persians of late antiquity that the monuments were built by Jamshid a figure from Persian mythology, the site was known as Jamshid's Throne (since Sasanian times (224–651 AD).
