NATION'S GATE
Go there and contact
The monumental staircase leads to the colossal door of the Nations built under Xerxes I (486-465 B.C.), flanked by giant sculptures, featuring the winged and human bulls. Directly inspired by the style of the Assyrians, these symbols already existed in Hasanlu in the ninth century before our era. This portico, whose only frame remained, was actually a four-column square hall, front entrance door to Xerxes Palace (or Hundred Columns), Darius Palace said Apadana (courtroom) and Artaxerxes Palace. At the end of the terrace, the Royal Treasury and the harem… Immediately left after crossing the door of the nations, see the gorgeous protomer (or column top), which is the two griffon.
