Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat
Khuzestan Province, Iran
The Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat is an ancient Elamite religious complex located in Iran’s Khuzestan Province, near the ancient city of Susa.
Founded around 1250 BC by the Elamite king Untash-Napirisha, it was built as a sacred centre and is dominated by a massive stepped pyramid known as a ziggurat, dedicated to the deities Inshushinak and Napirisha. The site is surrounded by three concentric walls and is considered one of the best-preserved ziggurats in the world and the largest outside Mesopotamia.
Recognising its exceptional historical and architectural importance, UNESCO inscribed Chogha Zanbil as Iran’s first World Heritage Site in 1979.
