The Tomb of Cyrus is an ancient burial site believed to belong to Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire, located in Pasargad, Iran. It is a raised platform with a stepped base and a simple, domed stone chamber, reflecting early Persian architectural style. Built around the 6th century BCE, it symbolizes the importance of Cyrus as a ruler and cultural icon. Although its exact attribution is debated, it remains a significant historical monument that offers insight into Persian burial traditions and the grandeur of the Achaemenid Empire.
