The Taj Mahal in Agra, India
Built in 1648, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India has been named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. The master architect was Ustad 'Isa.
Some twenty thousand workers spent twenty-two years constructing the glistening white Taj Mahal. Made entirely of marble, the structure was designed as a mausoleum for a favorite wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Beautifully symmetrical, each element of the Taj Mahal is independent, yet perfectly integrated with the structure as a whole.
Facts about the Taj Mahal:
Top Dome - 213 feet high
Minarets - 162.5 feet high
Platform - 186 feet by 186 feet
Cost To Build - 32 Million Rupees
