Taj Mahal, Agra, India
One of the world's most beautiful buildings and India's most
famous monument, this white marble mausoleum has become symbolic of
enduring love. It was built in the 1630s by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for
his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. An exquisite example of Islamic architecture, it
took about 22 years to complete with a workforce of around 20,000 people. With
its breathtaking fine detail and gleaming façade, we can see why the Taj Mahal
earned its UNESCO status in 1983 and is often considered one of the new
seven wonders of the world.
