English: Natural-colour image of Persepolis and the surrounding region. The boundary between agricultural land and mountain runs roughly north-west to south-east. West of the boundary, the land appears as a patchwork of brown fallow fields and green growing crops. East of the boundary, mountain peaks on Kuh-i-Rahmat cast dark shadows to the north. A tree-lined road leads to the site of Persepolis from the south-west. Persepolis itself is roughly rectangular, and rivals the size of nearby modern settlements. The L-shaped, off-white structure at Persepolis is a modern covering, providing some protection from the elements to part of the ancient complex.
