Shapur cave (Persian: غار شاپور) is located in the Zagros Mountains, in southern Iran.
[citation needed] This cave is near Kazerun in the Chogan valley.
In the cave, on the fourth of five terraces, stands the statue of Shapur I, the second ruler of the Sasanid Empire.
[1] About 1400 years ago, after the Muslim conquest of Persia and collapse of the Sasanian Empire, the statue was pulled down and a part of one of its legs was broken.
The statue had been lying on the ground for about 14 centuries until 1957 when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, had a group of Iranian military to raise it again on its feet and repair the broken foot with iron and cement.
