Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is an immense mausoleum of white marble, built between
1632 and 1653 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his
favorite wife. The Taj is one of the most well preserved and
architecturally beautiful tombs in the world, one of the masterpieces of
Mughal architecture, and one of the great sites of the world’s
heritage. Called “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity”, the monument is
actually an integrated complex of structures. Besides the white domed
marble mausoleum it includes several other beautiful buildings,
reflecting pools, and extensive ornamental gardens with flowering trees
and bushes.
