This palace was constructed by Darius I during the Achaemenid Empire. Construction started some 450 years before Christ. The ground plan shows you how big this palace must have been and a few remaining capitals and columns give you an impression how beautiful this palace must have been. The palace was excavated by French archeologists and most of the beautiful remainders have been transported to France. They are now located and can be seen in the Louvre in Paris.

Few things remain in the site except from many column foundations. The only notable building structure that catches the eyes of visitors is a 19th century French castle built in order to provide protection to archaeologists from local hostilities during that time. (It is a beautiful castle, but it should not be confused with the Apadana Palace and other earlier remains). Those French archaeologists took many treasures home, and many of them are now exhibited in Musée du Louvre in Paris. Despite that unfortunate episode, one can definitely imagine the former glory of the palace during the golden ages of successive Persian empires before the arrival of Arab conquerors in the seventh century.
Shush. It's the ancient capital of the Persian empire. So, everyone who loves the dramatic history of Iran has to visit this place. It is situated between the main crossroads of the ancient world. The atmosphere of Shush is very nice, very historic. Very little remains of Shush. Don't forget to see the remains of Darius's palace.
There is a beautiful castle!
Very very very very good. Every body must visit here
