The round city
The ancient city of Ardashir-Khwarrah was laid out as an almost perfect circle. Its outline is one of the earliest large-scale examples of circular urban planning.

Fīrūzābād Map Poster & Print
Fīrūzābād lies in a valley in southern Fars province, enclosed by mountains. Just outside the modern town lies one of the most unusual shapes in Iranian archaeology: the ancient round city of Ardashir-Khwarrah, founded by Ardashir I, the first Sasanian king, in the third century. Its circular outline, about two kilometres across, is still visible from above.
The modern town has a more ordinary layout, with a central street network, orchards and fields around it, and roads following the valley. In the mountains nearby are the Palace of Ardashir and the fortress of Qal'eh Dokhtar, both part of the Sassanid Archaeological Landscape of Fars, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018.
A Fīrūzābād map poster sets the modern town beside the traces of a planned circle drawn nearly two thousand years ago. Where the circular city's outline appears in the map data, it gives the composition a rare geometric element. Even without it, the valley setting and the orchards make a calm, carefully balanced print.

Valley setting
Mountains close in around the plain where the town lies. Roads follow the valley floor, giving the print a clear, contained structure.
Orchards and fields
Farmland surrounds the town in a patchwork of plots. It fills the space between the streets and the hills with a fine, even texture.

Cur Fīrūzābād
Tabula quae aliquid significat
Fīrūzābād suits people with roots in Fars and anyone drawn to ancient history and city planning. Seeing the modern town beside a circle drawn by a Sasanian king gives the map a depth few places can match.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps in Persian or English and with a date or a family name. Choose from five styles, including Paper and Sand, which suit the historical theme. The HD files cost $9, and printed posters are also available.
