Apadana Palace in Susa was constructed about 521 to 515 BC, by the order of Darius I of Achaemenid empire, on the remaining of Elamite civilization. Walls of this palace were made of adobe, with brick façade and stone columns. Internal walls had been covered by glazed bricks decorated in the depiction of the figures of Immortals, winged lion and blue Ipomoea.
Some important parts of the palace got on fire in the period of Artaxerxes I (461 BC) and reconstructed in the period of Artaxerxes II (359 BC). Eventually, like other Achaemenid palaces, Apadana was completely ruined by Alexander’s invasion.
