Northern Gate To The Hundred Columns Hall

Persepolis, Iran

The main entrance was to the north, where a portico was decorated by two large bulls.
The entrances themselves - two on each of the four sides of the square building - were decorated with the usual motifs: audience scenes, throne scenes, and "royal warriors" fighting against wild animals.
