Taq-e Bostan

At Taq-e Bostan ("the arch of the garden"), situated in the neighborhood of modern Kermanshah, several Sasanian reliefs can be found:

• The Investiture Relief of Shapur II
• The small cave
  
• The large cave of Khusrau II

In front of the monuments is a little artificial lake and an ancient garden, or "paradise". They were probably created in the Parthian age, but the reliefs are younger.
