■The Taj Mahal
Agra, India
Perhaps the most romantic monument ever built—and certainly one of the world’s greatest architectural masterpieces—the Taj Majal was commissioned 400 years ago by emperor Shah Jahan to hold the body of his beloved third wife.
Construction of this magnificent mausoleum required over 20,000 workers and took over two decades to complete. To ensure perfection, skilled artisans were brought in from all over the world and the highest quality materials were sourced from all across Asia. The majestic beauty of the Taj Mahal is second to none and must be witnessed firsthand on your next trip to India.
The Taj Mahal is one of the Seven New Wonders Of The World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
