In our Geo Quiz today we were looking for an ancient city in present-day Iran.

The answer is Persepolis.

Travel show host Rick Steves recently visited the ruins of the city.

The site for Persepolis was selected by Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire.

Its buildings were constructed by a successor, Darius the Great.

But in 2008, Persepolis is a city of ruins.

And a traveller like Rick Steves knows visiting famous ruins can sometimes be a letdown.
