Xerxes was responsible for completing the monumental and building works of his father, Darius I at Persepolis. Taking inspiration from the various ethnic groups within the empire, he set about his own monumental and building works in the style of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks and Babylonians. The Gate of All Nations, the Apadana (Audience Hall), western fortifications, 'Harem' and elaborately decorated staircases were all Xerxes' additions.
