Palace S at Pasargadae, an Achaemenid royal residence in what is now Pasargad County, Iran, served as a throne room within the ceremonial complex of the ancient Persian capital. Built in stone in the distinctive style of Achaemenid architecture, it represents the monumental palatial traditions of the Achaemenid Empire, though specific details of its architectural plan and decorative program remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
