The Taj Mahal (1630 A.D.) Agra, India
This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the
fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late
wife. Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out
walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of
Muslim art in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is
said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.
