Qadamgah, also known as Chasht-Khor, is an Achaemenid rock-cut monument carved into the southeastern face of Kuh-e Rahmat mountain in Fars province, Iran, approximately 40 kilometers south of Persepolis. The site comprises three platforms with rear walls and staircases, supplemented by cavities carved into the back wall and the remains of a spring and pond at its base. While its exact purpose remains debated among scholars, recent research suggests a religious function connected to the veneration of water as a sacred element. Designated as part of Iran's National Heritage, the monument represents an important example of Achaemenid rock-cut architecture.
