Persepolis

Persepolis (Old Persian: 'Pars', New Persian: t+x+t+ g+m+snd+, 'Takht-e Jamshid') was an ancient ceremonial capital of the second Iranian dynasty, the Achaemenid Empire, situated some 70 km northeast of modern city of Shiraz, not far from where the small river Pulwar flows into the Kur (Kyrus). To the ancient Persians, the city was known as Parsa, meaning the city of Persians, Persepolis being the Greek interpretation of the name (Perse*s meaning Persian)+ po'li*s (meaning city). In contemporary Iran the site is known as Takht-e Jamshid (Throne of Jamshid).

You can wonder around the ancient site and the famous 100 pillar hall. You are literally in touch distance of much of the ruins and statues, however try not to touch and potentially damage the ruins.
