The city of Kazerun was once the capital of the Sassanid rule and since then, many historical monuments have remained in this region. Among the Sassanid historical monuments are the reliefs on the wall of the mountain in Tang-e Chogan and the old city of Bishapour as well as the colossal statue of Shapur at the mouth of Shapur cave.
All the above-mentioned historical monuments are close to each other, about 25 km north of Kazerun and south of Qaemieh town (located in the middle of Yasuj-Borazjan road).
