Qasr-e Shirin, literally translated from Persian as Palace of Shirin, is a historical city in Kermanshah province which was built during the Sassanid dynastic era (226-651 AD). It was built by the king Khosrow Parviz and named after his wife Shirin.
In June 2006, Archeological excavations in Shirin’s castle resulted in the discovery of the dais of the castle which was used as the seat of the king. [1]
