Tomb of Artaxerxes III

Few visitors wander up to the smaller of the two tombs above the Treasury but it has its own charms, not least for a commanding view across the plain. It's not possible to enter this tomb but the frieze above the lintel is in good condition and a bas-relief depiction of the winged Fravashi (guardian spirit) graces the upper part of the rock face.
