The Tachara, also referred to as the "Palace of Darius the Great" is located in Persepolis and dates back to the time of the Achaemenid Empire (550 BC–330 BC). The building has been attributed to Darius I, but only a small portion of it was finished under his rule. It was completed after the death of Darius I in 486, by his son and successor, Xerxes I, who called it a tachara in Old Persian, translated to "winter palace".
On the wall of its gate, there is a carving that shows one of the famous Achaemenids architecture motifs: the Battle of Shahriar and Lion.
