Four tombs belonging to Achaemenid kings are carved out of the rock face. They are all at a considerable height above the ground.
One of the tombs is explicitly identified by an accompanying inscription to be the tomb of Darius I. The other three tombs are believed to be those of Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I and Darius II respectively.
