A most interesting site, located west of Shiraz, in Iran's archaeological
belt, where so much history has been revealed as a result of extensive
excavations and restoration. Bishapur, meaning the beautiful city of Shapur,
was built by Shapur the first (241-273 AD), the second Sassanian king, who
threw back the Roman invaders and captured the Emperor Valerian in Eddesa. |

From then until its capture and destruction by the Arabs
around 637 A.D. ,Bishapur was an important Sassanian city. The building
complex includes a central chamber, a large courtyard, which had been
covered with impressive mosaics, plus the remains of a temple dedicated to
Anahita, the goddess of water and fertility. At Bishapur, on either side of
a narrow gorge, there are also six Sassanian rock reliefs, commemorating
Shapur's victories over the Romans, for which the site is justly famous. |
