Kermanshah

Kermanshah is a city of carved rock. At Taq-e Bostan, Sasanian kings hunt boar across the walls of two arches. At Bisotun, Darius had his victories cut high into a cliff in three languages.

Our articles cover both, along with the tile panels of Tekyeh Moaven al-Molk and the Anahita Temple at Kangavar, on the road towards Hamedan. Bring an appetite for nan-e berenji, the city’s rice-flour biscuits. Our Kermanshah travel guide has the rest.
