Not who you're looking for? Others named Pasargadae: Persian tribe
Pasargadae was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great, located just north of the town of Madar-e-Soleyman and about 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the northeast of the city of Shiraz. It is one of Iran's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is considered to be the location of the Tomb of Cyrus, a tomb previously attributed to Madar-e-Soleyman, the "Mother of Solomon".
