The Achaemenids built on a grand scale. The artists and materials they used were brought from all territories of then the largest state in the world.[citation needed] Pasargadae set the standard: its city was laid out in an extensive park with bridges, gardens, colonnaded palaces and open column pavilions. Pasargadae along with Susa and Persepolis expressed the authority to The King of Kings, the staircases of the latter recording in relief sculpture the vast extent of the imperial frontier.Davazdah Cheshmeh Bridge Amol, Old city Iran architectur, Kamboj,Shekleh Shah.
