Originally, tile work is an
Iranian art which was born after the flourishing of the Achaemid Dynasty in
the Apadana; palace of Darious. This art dates back to the fifth
millennium B.C. Tile work is gradually changed into an artistic decorative
element used in Iran architecture. The art is considered a great ornamental
industry, and also employed people in that area.
