East side of the Apadana Palace, Persepolis.



The Apadana Palace in Susa was built during the reign of Darius around 521 to 515 BCE and by his order on the Elamite relics in Susa.

History have it that the walls of this palace are made of clay with a brick facade and its columns are made of stone. Its inner walls were covered with glazed bricks and featured soldiers of the Eternal Guard, a winged lion, and a lotus flower.

Important parts of the Apadana Palace caught fire during the reign of Artaxerxes I (461 BCE) and were rebuilt during the reign of Artaxerxes II (359 BCE).
