The City of Hormizd-Ardashir, known as Hormuz-Ardeshir (Persian: شهرستان هرمزد اردشیر), is an archaeological area from the Persian Sassanid time.
It's located in the Khuzestan Province and the current Ahvaz in South-Western Persia (current Iran).
It is believed that Ezzatollah Negahban first referred to the location as the city of Hormuz Ardashir. He had uncovered many Sassanid pottery artifacts in the region.
Hormuz Ardashir is believed to have been originally built by Ardashir I, the founder of the Sassanid dynasty (224-651 CE), upon the ruins of the Achaemenid city of Tareiana.
In 2007, the construction was halted due to concerns by local heritage activists that the tunneling would destroy the ancient Sassanid city of Hormuz Ardeshir.
