TATCHARA (WINTER PALACE OF DARIUS)
Go there and contact
To the south of the Apadana stands the Tatchara, the frames of intact doors and windows carved into a stone block. The frequent use of this type of blocks attests to the originality of Persian architecture and the excellence of training and sealing techniques. Great bas-reliefs show the king fighting a lion, a bull and a chimera… Symbol of calm and strength, it also holds by hand a lotus stem. See also cuneiform inscriptions. From the black surface, polished and iridescent of the stones, the nickname of the Tatchara: Mirrors Room.
