TAQ KASRA , Taq Khosro or CALLED THE Archway of Ctesiphon, is located around 35 kilometers south of Baghdad in IRAQ. It is the only above-ground structure that remains of Ctesiphon, an ancient city that acted as the royal capital of the Persian Empire, notably during the Parthian and Sasanian periods, until the Muslim conquest of the region in the seventh century.
There is some debate as to the year of its construction, the archway is at least 1700 years old. It was part of the city’s palace complex, possibly the ceiling of the throne room itself . Rising to 37 meters in height and stretching a 1 meter thick at its approximately 7 meters thick at its supporting base, it’s considered to be the largest single-span brick vault arch in the world.
Kasra arch is made of brick and only with the help of gypsum mortar. Despite the damage of many wars, floods and earthquakes, this arch is still standing. The purpose of the Sassanid kings in building palaces and arches was to show the power and wealth of the empire.
