THE TAJ MAHAL

In the Indian city of Agra, close to the Yamuna River, stands the Taj Mahal, a well-known mausoleum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. "The crown of palaces" is what Taj Mahal means.

The huge white dome in the centre of the Taj Mahal is its most iconic feature. It is surrounded by four smaller domes and is 35 metres high. The interior spaces of the building are decorated with lovely arches and priceless stones set into the walls. There are gardens with walkways, pools, and fountains around the structures.

The Taj Mahal's construction began in 1631 and was completed in 1648. It was built using materials in India and other Asian countries. However, the main material is white marble. The Indian also used other high quality building materials at that time. Historians believe that around 1,000 elephants transported the materials for the construction.

Emperor Shah Jahan had the Taj Mahal built as a burial place for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to legend, he intended to create a black Taj Mahal on the other side of the river, but this never came true. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, British soldiers destroyed many areas of the Taj Mahal, taking some of the precious stones from its walls. The Taj Mahal has suffered from environmental damage over the years, and significant government efforts have been made to preserve its beauty.

The Taj Mahal is one of India's most well-known landmarks. Every year, millions of people come to see the mausoleum. The Taj Mahal is mentioned in lists of iconic buildings to see and is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
