Absolutely mesmerising. The first time I entered Persepolis, I felt instant awe and a sense of gravity. Years later, that initial shock had faded—but walking through the palaces, listening to the guide, and understanding the stories behind the details pulled me right back in. The grandeur doesn’t wear off; it deepens.
