Tomb of Cyrus the Great

I visited the place in the summer and it was deserted. Very few tourist. Maybe because of the heat or maybe because it is quite far from Shiraz so it might be a bit difficult to visit it if you don't have a car. Still, you can get a snap or even a taxi and it wouldn't cost more than 20 US dollars (which makes sense if you're not going alone). If you're into history, than Pasargadae is a must see, not only the tomb, but also the structures around (the gate to the city, some column etc), spread over some distance.

One of the best historical places I have visited so far, it was very beautiful and had an interesting story

Pasargadae was founded in the 6th century BCE as the first capital of the Achaemenid Empire by Cyrus the Great, near the site of his victory over the Median king Astyages in 550 BCE. The city remained the Achaemenid capital until Darius moved it to Persepolis.

The great king of persia tomb.

The tomb of one of the great conquerors of the ancient world
This is a special place. It was the resting place of Cyrus the Great. The tomb is a large marble edifice on a bare plain, which was once surrounded by gardens. It costs a million rials to enter, but for anyone interested in history it is worth it to see the grave of Cyrus the Great. He is remembered not merely for conquering more than anyone before him in human history, but also for, at least sometimes, showing mercy to those he conquered. This is a good place to remember him.

Love the snakes and the drinks. We will go again to the tomb. Of Cyrus the Great. It is one of a visit

🙂

Impressive tomb where belong to thousands years ago with simple but great Structure which shows the greatness of the land of Persia.

There were few busses there to take you to other places at Pasargad

If you want to see my documentary video, then my channel on YouTube can look at Ratas Hussain Explorer

Full of peace and positive vibes with very respectable hosts and guests.

In one word, Unbelievable! Especially if you know how merciful and intelligent Cyrus the Great was!

Whilst its far from Shiraz, its defintly worth a visit, add it to your day trip to see Perspolis and Naqsha Rostam.
Its unforunate to see so few tourist at such a historic sight.

Great place, full of history atmosphere.
Entry fee was 100.000t in 2023.

The Tomb of Cyrus the Great, which is the tomb of Cyrus II of Achaemenid, is a building with unique architecture, which is located about one kilometer southwest of Pasargad palaces. This work was registered in 2004 as a subset of Pasargad under number 1106 in UNESCO World Heritage. The tomb of Cyrus is the only building in Pasargad whose description is given in Greek sources.
