🏛️ A Virtual Walk Through Bishapur – Capital of the Sasanian Empire
Founded by Shapur I, the powerful Persian king who famously defeated Rome, Bishapur was a model of Persian urban planning blended with Roman influence. Surrounded by mountains and plains, it featured intricate designs, stone carvings, and forward-thinking engineering that echo the brilliance of ancient Iran.
⛰️ Climb to Shapur Cave in 360°
Our journey continues up into the Zagros Mountains, where we enter Shapur Cave—home to a breathtaking 6.7-meter statue of Shapur I carved from limestone. As you pan around the cave in 360°, you’ll feel the spiritual and historic weight of this sacred space.
⚔️ Persia vs Rome – A Story in Stone
Shapur I’s victory over Rome is legendary. In 260 AD, during the Battle of Edessa, he became the only non-Roman ruler to capture a Roman emperor—Valerian. The rock reliefs of Bishapur depict these moments vividly: Shapur on horseback, accepting tribute from Roman captives. These are not just artistic masterpieces, but historic statements of Persia’s dominance.
