Choga Zanbil consists of the ruins of three
concentric walls , within which are palaces ,
temples and a central Ziggurat (temple tower) ,
measuring 105 X 105 meters. The first wall has seven
gates , which reflects the religious ideologies of
that time. Between the inner and middle walls ,
several temples dedicated to different Elamites
divinities were built.

places :The
second wall (460 X 420 m) enclosed seven
temples and four chapels.

The outer city wall
was about 4 km long and enclosed an area of
approximately 100 hectares. The royal quarter was
situated adjacent to a major city gate some 450 m
east of the Ziggurat. In this area , an extensive
water tank and a group of three major buildings with
large courts surrounded by lengthy halls and rooms
were excavated. Beneath one of these buildings ,
five underground tombs of monumental dimensions were
unearthed. |

Finally , the interior wall (190 X 170 m)
encloses the Ziggurat , which originally was
53 m and five stories high , is the largest
surviving monument of its kind , beyond
Babylonia and Assyria. It was constructed
according to the models of the Mesopotamian
culture. The monument was built in two
stages and in the second phase took its
multilayered form. The outer facade of the
Ziggurat is of baked bricks and the rest of
the building is of unbaked mud adobe. |

The complex is built mainly of mud-bricks.
The monuments were well built and
beautifully decorated with glazed baked
bricks , gypsum , ornaments of faience and
glass. Thousands of baked bricks bearing
inscriptions with Elamites cuneiform
characters were all inscribed by hand ,
ornamenting the most important buildings.
Glazed terracotta statues such as bulls and
winged griffins guarded the entrances to the
Ziggurat iran.
