Next in our list of landmarks is the Taj Mahal located in Agra, India. The building was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, and has world wide recognition as one of the most beautiful buildings across the globe.
The building is elevated 171 metres above the ground and was built between the years of 1632 and 1653, and over the years it has become an increasingly popular tourist destination with around 2.4 million people visiting it annually. Since it has been built there have been many replicas trying to catch the essence of the Taj Mahal, but none have been able to carry the history and heritage of the original.
