Naqsh-e Rajab

Fars Province, Iran

Naqsh-e Rajab (Persian pronunciation: [næɣʃeɾæˈdʒæb]) is an archaeological site west of Istakhr and about 5 km north of Persepolis in Fars province, Iran. Naqsh-e Rajab is the site of four limestone rockface inscriptions and rock-cut bas-reliefs that date to the early Sasanian Empire. Together with Naqsh-e Rostam, which lies 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) away, the site is part of the Marvdasht cultural complex which itself is a tentative candidate for World Heritage Site status.
