Barm-e Delak (Persian: برم‌دلک), is a site of a Sasanian rock relief located about 10 km southeast of Shiraz, in the Pars Province of Iran. The rock relief was known as Bahram-e Dundalk in Middle Persian, which means Bahram's heart.

History

The site is located near a river, on the eastern side of a rocky spur. It composes four reliefs.
