As a word, “apadāna” used to designate a hypostyle hall, i.e., a palace or audience hall of stone construction with columns. Hypostyle hall, in architecture, is an interior space whose roof rests on pillars or columns. The word means literally “under pillars”. The Old Persian term, “APADANA” standing for “unprotected”, refers to the fact that the roofed- shaped structure is open to the outside elements on one of its four sides, and thus ‘unprotected’ / exposed to the natural elements. This is exactly what the Apadana palace has: open (columned) porch on three sides—a unique feature among all palace buildings at Persepolis. The Apadana or Audience Hall of Persepolis belongs to the oldest building phase of the palace complex, the grand design by its founder, king Darius I the Great (522-486). In this large hall, the great king received the tributes from all the subjects in the Achaemenid Empire and gave presents in return. The Hall, the largest and probably most beautiful of the buildings at Persepolis, could accommodate hundreds of people. The seventy-two columns which supported the roof were twenty-five meters high. Today, only thirteen columns are standing. The Apadana of Persepolis is one of the magnificent places to visit in Iran.
