The Palace of Ardeshir Babakan is unique among Iranian structures because it is situated on a square-shaped platform.
Most historical Iranian monuments have a circular base to their architecture. Meanwhile, the use of a square model in the construction of palaces became popular among Iranian architects in the Sassanid era.
The palace that once belonged to Ardeshir Babakan is one of the most impressive features of ancient Firuzabad, which still exudes a sense of the Sassanid era. It served as his government’s central office.
