Do you know that the Sasanian landscape of the Fars region has around eight famous ancient sites that everyone desires to visit and see, and some have already been lucky to witness its beauty of it?
These are located in three regions such as Firozabad, Sarostan, and even Bishapur. The best is yet to come. We are proud to say that these sites are even registered with the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO back in the year 2018. So now you can understand the importance of the site that we are talking about, don't you?
Let us read a bit about its background. The Sasanian works were sent to UNESCO back in the year 2015, which was a work containing 1000 pages and UNESCO included these amazing documents in its World Heritage List.
UNESCO later sent its evaluation team to Iran for the axis of the Fars region. The experts were Italian as well as German great archaeologists.
There was a proposal sent to register the Sasanian collection located in the region of Fars temporarily in UNESCO's list in the year 2005 as each of the works were supposed to be registered bus from each nation, only two works are supposed to be registered the decision was not supported, and hence all the five works of the Sasanians were registered in the UNESCO's List as a Sasanian landscape of Fars.

What are the structures anyways?
Glue your eyes to the screen till we elaborate more on the structures and the Sasanian landscape of Fars in detail.

The Structures of the Landscape

When we talk about the structures of the landscape of Fars, we know that it's all about the places, cities, and monuments that take us all back to the era of the Sasanian kingdom. Are you aware that the Sasanians extended across the entire region from 224 to 658 AD?
In this, some of the great sites are the Gor, which was the capital that was built by Ardeshir Babkan, the great founder of this amazing dynasty. Some of the significant other words worth mentioning are the Cave of Shapoor, the Ardeshir Babakan palace, the Ardeshir Babakan petroglyphs, and last but not least, the Dokhtar castle of Firouzabad.
According to the archaeologists, Fars being the capital of the Sassanid, having four hundred years of the ruling, is still very colorful. The region of Fars has the most artifacts, and the little estimate says the Sassanid era has got more than three thousand artifacts in the region of Fars.
When you look at the axis of the region Fars, you can see that it has a reflection of different aspects of history belonging to Iran and Iranians that belong to the Sassanid era. There seems to be a boundary between the ancient glory of Parthians and the Achaemenid, along with some government political changes that happened at the beginning of the Islamic era.
Getting back to the collection of works that UNESCO lists, we can say that it is all about urban planning, art, architecture as well as lithography that were born even before the Sassanid era.
On the other hand, we can throw light on the art of masonry, which was used by the Elamite period and showed the glory of Iran with its small and big kingdoms well.
