Gate To The Hundred Columns Hall

Persepolis, Iran

The Hundred Columns Hal is the second largest building of the Terrace and the final edifices. It is also called the Throne Hall or the Imperial Army's hall of honour.
This hall was used for the reception of the Subject Nations, where the king received nobles, dignitaries, and envoys bearing tribute.

There were two entrances on each of the four sides of the square building - they were decorated with the usual motifs:. audience scenes, throne scenes, and "royal warriors" fighting against wild animals.
