More than 20,000 workers and artisans shaped this ivory-white marble mausoleum, commissioned in 1631 by Shah Jahan for the tomb of his late wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses Shah Jahan’s tomb. The mausoleum anchors a 17-hectare complex with formal gardens, a mosque, a guest house and a crenellated wall.
