Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture
Director: Pejman Akbarzadeh
Duration: 30 minutes

“Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture” is the first-ever documentary film on the worldʼs largest brick vault. The palace is a symbol of the Persian Empire in the Sassanid era (224-651 AD), when a major part of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) was part of Persia.
