The site is located in southwestern Iran, in the lower Zagros Mountains, and includes a group of archaeological mounds on the eastern bank of the Savur River, and the palace of Ardashir on the other side of the river. Excavated architectural remains include administrative, residential and palace buildings. Susa contains multiple layers of continuous urban settlements that lasted from the late 5th century BC to the 13th century AD. The site is an outstanding testimony to Elamite, Persian and Parthian cultural traditions that have largely disappeared.
