Bishapur (Middle Persian: Bay-Šāpūr; Persian: بیشاپور, Bishâpûr) was an ancient city in Sasanid Persia (Iran) on the ancient road between Persis and Elam.
The road linked the Sassanid capitals Estakhr (very close to Persepolis تخت جمشيد) and Ctesiphon. It is located south of modern Faliyan in the Kazerun County of Pars Province, Iran.
Bishapur was built near a river crossing and at the same site there is also a fort with rock-cut reservoirs and a river valley with six Sassanid rock reliefs.
The most important point about this city, is the combination of Persian and Roman art and architecture that hadn't been seen before Bishapur construction.
Before Bishapour was built, almost all the main cities in Persia/Iran had a circular shape like the old city in Firuzabad or Darab.
Bishapour is the first city with vertical and horizontal streets also in the city specially in interior design we can see tile work that's adapted from Roman Art.

Heaving from the thin, high altitude air and adrenaline pulsing through your veins, this is a feeling that mountaineers are quite familiar with. And the joy of it all is the reward you get at the end.
The reward could be a panoramic view, or in this case, a magnificent statue at the entrance of a cave that’s about 800 meters above ground-level, in the Chogaan Valley دره چوگان, in the province of Fars استان فارس, in Iran.
The entrance to the Cave of Shapur I شاپور يكم is about 30 meters wide and 15 meters high. It has been named so because of the Colossal Statue of Shapur the 1st, the 2nd Sassanian King دومين پادشاه ساساني, that’s been standing guard at the cave entrance for more than 1 thousand, 5 hundred years.
***
Shapur cave/ Shapour cave (Persian: غار شاپور) is located in the Zagros Mountains كوههاي زاگرس, in southern Iran, about 6 km from the ancient city of Bishapur. This cave is near Kazerun in Chogan valley دره چوگان, which was the site of polo (Persian čōgān چُوگان), in the Sasanian period دوره ساسانيان.
In the cave, on the fourth of five terraces, stands the colossal statue of Shapur I شاپور يكم, the second ruler of the Sasanid Empire. The statue was carved from one stalagmite. The height of statue is 7 m. and its shoulders are 2 m. wide, and its hands are 3 m. long.
About 1,400 years ago, after the invasion of Iran by Arabs and collapse of the Sasanid dynasty, this grand statue was pulled down and a part of one of its legs was broken. About 70 years ago, again, parts of his arms were also broken.
The statue had been lying on the ground for about 14 centuries until 1957 when upon orders of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi a group of his military men to raise it again on its feet and fix his foot with iron and cement. The project of raising the statue, building the roads from Bishapur to the area and paths in the mountain, stairs and iron fences on the route to the cave took six months in 1957.
The length of cave entrance is about 16 m., with a height of less than 8 m. Behind the statue, in the depth of the cave, are three ancient water-basins. At both sides of the statue, the rock-walls of the cave were prepared for reliefs by leveling, but the reliefs were never made. It is said that in addition to this giant statue of Shapur I, the tomb of this great man is also situated somewhere in this cave.
Another legend - according to the local belief - indicates that Shapur, being defeated in a battle, ran into this cave and was lost ever since and his body/remains have never been recovered.

Kazerun, Iran
Demonstrators in the city of Isfahan, Iran, are unfazed by the threat of military crackdown. Farmers in the city have been protesting unrelentingly for the last few weeks. The unrest in Isfahan and small pockets of resistance in other cities reignites a new round of rallies against the regime.
Here a crowd of women in Kazerun, a rural city 88 miles west of Shiraz, chant in unison:

Kazeroun, Fars Province, Iran.
Khomeiniist regime guards attack peaceful protesters in the central Iranian town of Kazeroun, Fars Province. Wednesday, May 16th, 2018, resulting in citywide clashes that has left several civilians killed and many injured.
IRAN LIONS OF KAZEROON 20 APRIL
The protests continued to Friday 20 April. I have translated most of the chanting to fully understand the frustration of the people of Kazeroon, that this situation is far from over and will probably continue to next week. It seems that this legislation about separating Kazeroon is going to be approved despite all these protests. This is a perfect example how tyranny works, working against the will of the people for the best interest of the regime.

Sasanian_Empire, Iran,Fars, Sarvestan
Film by Amin Malekzadeh.
The Sasanian Empire (/səˈsɑːniən, səˈseɪniən/), also known as the Sassanian, Sasanid, Sassanid or Neo-Persian Empire (known to its inhabitants as Ērānshahr, or Iran, in Middle Persian),[a] was the last period of the Persian Empire before the rise of Islam, named after the House of Sasan, which ruled from 224 to 651 AD.The Sasanian Empire, which succeeded the Parthian Empire, was recognised as one of the leading world powers alongside its neighbouring arch-rival the Roman-Byzantine Empire, for a period of more than 400 years.
The Sasanian Empire was founded by Ardashir I, after the fall of the Parthian Empire and the defeat of the last Arsacid king, Artabanus V. At its greatest extent, the Sasanian Empire encompassed all of today's Iran, Iraq, Eastern Arabia (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatif, Qatar, UAE), the Levant (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan), the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Dagestan), Egypt, large parts of Turkey, much of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan), Yemen and Pakistan. According to a legend, the vexilloid of the Sasanian Empire was the Derafsh Kaviani.
The Sasanian Empire during Late Antiquity is considered to have been one of Iran's most important and influential historical periods and constituted the last great Iranian empire before the Muslim conquest and the adoption of Islam. In many ways, the Sasanian period witnessed the peak of ancient Iranian civilisation. The Sasanians' cultural influence extended far beyond the empire's territorial borders, reaching as far as Western Europe,Africa,China and India.It played a prominent role in the formation of both European and Asian medieval art. Much of what later became known as Islamic culture in art, architecture, music and other subject matter was transferred from the Sasanians throughout the Muslim world.
