# Persepolis

[**Edit this place**](https://cycleplanet.org/poi/3a31df99-8f23-443f-8727-157fa075823d/edit)

The former capital of the Achaemenid Empire, and now left in ruins. This UNESCO World Herritage Site is definetly worth a visit. You can visit most parts for free, but there are some paid areas like the museum. There are also guides available.
