Taq Bostan is part of the Zagros Mountains, located in the city of Kermanshah. Taq Bostan has artistic and historical value due to the stone carvings and carvings made in the heart of the mountain. The carvings of Taq Bostan are generally related to the middle period of the Sassanid dynasty, approximately between the 4th and 7th centuries AD

Taq Bostan is located on the Silk Road route, which was another reason for the interest of the Sassanid kings in this area. There are several historical scenes in it, including the coronation of Khosrow Parviz, the coronation of Ardashir II, the coronation of Shahpur II and III, as well as several inscriptions (inscriptions) in the Pahlavi script. Another important point about Taq Bostan is that the rock carving of the royal hunting lodge of Taq Bostan is the first rock painting in the world that complies with the rules and principles of painting.

In the rock carving of Khosrow riding Shabdiz, it appears that a painting is being carved. Another part of the large arch shows a boar hunting scene, which is one of the masterpieces of stone carving art in terms of movement and presentation. Its artistic style is close to mural painting. The presence of mountains and springs in this place has made it a historical-natural site that has been of interest since ancient times and is today one of the favorite destinations for tourists.
